Reduced Salary, now reduced hours

18 months ago our management implemented pay cuts of between 5% and 10% for all staff. We had to sign a letter agreeing to this.
We have now received another letter, very vaguely worded, notifying us of reduced hours to be introduced over the coming weeks (4 weeks notice provided). I have been verbally guaranteed a number of hours, but this is not stated in the letter.
What are the implications of signing this further letter, in terms of redundancy entitlements, and anything else I may not be aware of? Am I within my rights to ask for more detail to be included to cover verbal agreements?

If you go on to the citizens information website there is a lot of usefull information on it. I would not sign or agree to anything. I think you can tell them that you will do it for 4 weeks but then you want to be put back up to your full time hours. AFAIK if they refuse to do this you can ask for redundacy if that is the better alternative.
