From the HR meeting:
Possible ways to reduce hours: seniority, merit, voluntary, eliminate overlapping job functionality hours (where there's cocoordinators)
For merit-based, we must have some fair, hard and fast criteria; in long run, best for organization as a whole, but can cause lots of interpersonal harm
Seniority: easy to determine
HR could make report to staff that kind of pre-digests the issues involved Wage reduction should be considered first, and if untenable, then move on to other options
If we sense there'll be a problem, we could nominate or call for an ad hoc committee to present the options. Staff would decide.
