I'd think so but I don't know the laws in his state.

The easiest would be to cut 2 employees that make a decent salary and are expendable. See if you can merge their job duties with other employees.
When business picks up, do not hire anyone as full-time and look to add part-time employees you can release easier at the end of the year.
Plenty of people looking for secondary incomes.

And that's the problem with reducing hours across the board. You are going to lose the people that can find something else, i.e. your best employees.

1 hour unpaid lunch breaks across the board.

Are there any employees that are at retirement and would like a severance package? I understand this wouldnt cut payroll for this year but it would be a step in fixing this for years to come.
If this has been going on the past 5 plus years, what have yall done before?

I had 5 at my previous job (only 4 currently), but I'm not even 30 years old so I would assume I work with people who have 7 weeks of PTO.

Having to reduce staff is always a reflection of managements inability to grow the business unit. I would do what is necessary right now, but have a discussion with my boss on the direction of your company.

If this is an annual occurrence to need to cut hours/staff every December-January....
Let 2 employees go. Better to only affect 2 employees by letting go the 2 least productive ones than to piss off everybody by cutting their hours by 20%. Not sure what industry you're in, but might cause you to lose good workers if they start looking elsewhere after you cut their hours.
Plus, when business picks up again and you need to re-hire, you can hire new employees that don't have 7 weeks PTO grandfathered into their employment contracts. And just let new employees know up front that they'll be furloughed around this time of the year and advise them to look for seasonal job. Plenty of Christmas related seasonal work they can pickup for a month or 2.

Reduce their hours and put them on 'work share'. At least they get some money from unemployment.

Then you have to go with Option A. If you term 2 employees, you will have to pay this out.

In business, you can't save your way to prosperity.
Sell more. This is the only way you or any company will be successful.

Yea so do you really need the 2 that you would be letting go?
Will you still make revenue and margins while meeting budget with the reduced staff? If the answer to that is yes then you have to go B and not look back. If the answer to that is no then maybe A is an option assuming you have to cut.

Well for pure cost centers like IT or HR this is kind of a rigid statement.

You work for a shitty company if they are looking to cut payroll to make their bonuses. I was slated for a 10% bonus at the end of last week, but because of a slow 4th Qtr I have been talking with the owner and we will probably skip bonuses altogether this year. Best case scenario is they will be 50% of what we planned to do before we re-evaluated the budget-to-actual figures.
