If this has had to happen every year for 8 years then there is a problem. The company knows it's coming but does nothing to avoid it.

Maybe you need to learn to even things out. During our slow times we've never had to reduce pay or cut people.

Cut 2

I'd go A and if they bitch and complain you can always put it out there it's reduced hours or reduced number of employees.

Firing employees may not reduce payroll all that much
Filing for unemployment and all...
Do any employees have transferable skills within the company?

Never seen UE come out of my payroll, I think Texas, it's only a small percentage back on the employer, maybe 25%..I could be way off though.

Considering you've done this 5 years in a row, I'd say there needs to be a change. Seems like a reoccurring problem that funds from busier times of the year aren't budgeted appropriately to last the whole year effectively. I would fight not to make any changes until they make a permanent solution to the problem, then do a time reduction. It sounds like your business sustains the 2 employees 10/12 months of the year, I don't see why the budget couldn't be spread more effectively to accommodate them all the year

I'll be taking a reduction in hours as well.

It would help if we knew how many employees
IF it is 10 or more Then B is the right answer

Each month of the year presents a different scenario. It's not as if I'm given 360k/yr for payroll and can just slice it by 12, and go on my way.

Cut all wages now by half of what you would normally cut.
Release 2 employees on Jan 15
Hire temp workers during busy season.

Savings need to be through end of 2016. No word on start of '17; however it's normal operating procedures that this reduction continues through end of January, at the minimum.

Most employees will assume that this correlates with management bonus structures
Rollover into next quarter equates to starting new year on best foot possible
Real talk. Let 2 people go. Rehire them in 2 months, if possible, as hourly employees.
If my company came to to us with this on an annual basis, it would take care of itself. People would walk with the quickness

My employees would burn this place down if they knew the bonus pay out of reported top 5 in company.

Because your sure are making it easier and easier to narrow this down
