    OK, I had to take a wage cut at the start of January as a temporary measure within the company, my wages were cut by 50% and still are, this was supposed to be a cost cutting exercise, but since this was put into place a sales rep, manager and floor worker have left, I thought I would ask for my wages to go back up but was told "NO"

    I am the only one in the company who is left with a wage cut....

    How long legally can this go on ?

    You were under no obligation to accept it in the first place.

    To accept a wage cut you have to have the proposal put to you in writing and you have to sign it. Otherwise it is not enforceable and you can sue for the difference in wages.

    annyway - @OP theres no legal framework for a temporary wage cut afaik. If you didnt agree to it in the first place, you may have some comeback as alluded to earlier
