Be cautious doing this. Many people can’t easily take a 20% pay cut. Your best people might instead choose to leave. Others may be bitter about it. Since they’re sticking around it can drag down morale. This is only possibly viable if there’s a clear plan back to 100%. There’s a reason it’s not commonly done.
