My husband gave a 6 week notice

My husband gave a 6 week notice to his employer and now he has been demoted and his wages reduced for the remaining 6 weeks. Is this legal? It seems like they are punishing him for leaving.

Unfortunately, yes this is legal. That is unless your husband is being singled out due to some form of legally actionable discrimination, which you did not indicate. Otherwise, absent an employment contrary or union agreement to the contrary, your husband's company can set the conditions of his employment much as it sees fit.
