If you reduce their hours or let them go for no reason, there's nothing they can do about it. Every state has different laws, but reducing an employees hours isn't illegal. Just be mindful of state laws and the justifications of doing what you're doing. Most employers do three write ups and the employee is gone. If all or most of your employees can't get the work done in the alotted time, the employee probably isn't the problem. Many states are “right to work” states.

Your giving your employess enough warning--I think if you have to write them up for it 3 times they should be let go --- Forget cutting the hours--I would cut them to 0.

It is outside the scope of their jobs. Even if it were legal, it is not condusive in creating a harmonic workplace. My advise to you is to keep everyone happy, otherwise you may have to do all the work yourself, boss. If these “chores” are not part of their assigned tasks, then it is definitely illegal.

So dont worry, you will win.
