All first-team players, coaches and senior management at Aston Villa have agreed to defer 25 percent of their salaries for four months.
The top-flight club have also urged the Premier League to take action to help teams with financial problems in the lower divisions.
Villa's non-playing staff won't be furloughed during football's coronavirus shutdown and the club's chief executive Christian Purslow says that's been made possible by the cuts.
"I am pleased to announce today measures to protect the livelihoods of our precious staff and their families," he announced in a statement.
"During the two seasons since Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens rescued Aston Villa they have supported and funded the rebuilding of the club with a huge level of personal financial investment.
"They are continuing to provide substantial funding which, combined with these significant salary deferrals, enables Aston Villa to confirm that all non-football staff - full and part time - will be retained and paid in full throughout the lockdown. There will be no furloughing of staff."
Purslow has also called on the Premier League to come up to proposals to aid clubs who are struggling financially during the shutdown:
"Our players and staff feel great solidarity with the many clubs in the football pyramid who have financial problems and we believe it is right and proper that the Premier League as a whole takes action on its finances collectively to enable it to be able to continue to provide vital funding throughout the game in England."
