Can employer reduce hours?

Hi,
My friend's employer is going through some contract reviews and have suggest that something may be on the cards is to reduce their hours by two and a half hours per week (from 37 and a half to 35) and reduce their salaries accordingly.

Is this legal, please?

Thank you.

    They would have to follow correct procedures but in a nutshell, yes they can do it.
