Hi Sherry,
Pay cut is not something new in the currect scenario,however i feel sorry to say that your management's approach rather confidence in HR function does not seem to be convincing which completely defeats the purpose of having someone in the HR department.
Please understand i am not trying to discourage you however your first option should definetely be to take up the challenge in order to change your management's outlook and if that dosen't work you may realize that you are at the wrong place.
However to answer your question regarding pay cut,start with 10% and try not to dip below 15% because if it falls below that you might want to explore a new opportunity.
Regards
Sameer
