IANAL, but from what I have heard from lawyers here in Canada, cutting %20 of your salary all other things being equal is considered a "constructive dismissal" and you can sue your employer for that.

> In employment law, constructive dismissal, also called constructive discharge or constructive termination, occurs when an employee resigns as a result of the employer creating a hostile work environment. Since the resignation was not truly voluntary, it is, in effect, a termination. For example, when an employer places extraordinary and unreasonable work demands on an employee to obtain their resignation, this can constitute a constructive dismissal.
