Dear Questioner,

Yes, it is possible to amend an employee's contract if their compensation has been reduced from their previous salary.

However, this must be done with the employee's consent and in accordance with the UAE labor laws.

The employer must provide a valid reason for the reduction in salary and the employee must agree to the new terms and conditions.
