can the empoyer cut my hours from 5 days a week to two days if the are under renovation. I need the 5 days for paying bills.

The reduction in hours and pay amounts to a constructive dismissal so you have the option to pursue a severance package from the company. You can leave your job now or you can stay on while you are looking for full time work but under each scenario you should formally dispute the reduced schedule in order to protect your entitlements.
