If you are in the US and in a work at will job, then your company is not required to give you any notice of a raise or cut in pay. Also, PTO and holidays are discretionary to the company and not regulated by any law, so it's up to the company to decide how/if/when those fringe benefits are received.

The only legal recourse you have is if when your pay was cut, it is under the state minimum wage for your job.

If you live in the U.S, and are not employed as a waiter or waitress, then by law you must be paid minimum wage. I would contact your local hours & wages department (part of your local courthouse) and complain.
