Re: Salary cut
Unless the employee has a contract, the employer can do whatever it wants (as long as it doesn't violate some law, e.g., Minimum Wage), including firing the employee.

Re: Salary cut
You can certainly make an argument that you should get notice immediately before the pay period in which the change is made, OR if you have a contract that has provisions regarding salary and notice, but otherwise, an employer is generally required only to pay minimum wage and can make changes as they see fit.
