Hibs have opened negotiations with Jack Ross and his squad as they look to mitigate damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report.
While the Easter Road outfit have no plans to ask staff to take a wage cut, they have asked their first-team squad if they would consider deferrals.
The players would be asked to sacrifice a percentage of their weekly wage during the continuing stasis period, with a repayment schedule agreed once life returns to normal.
The Scottish Sun report that that no agreement has yet been reached but further talks will take place next week with the aim of avoiding redundancies.
Only last week, American owner Ron Gordon admitted he would have "difficult decisions" to make at the Premiership side.
He said: “Although Hibernian is better positioned than most to weather the storm, we are far from immune.
“Unfortunately, other clubs are facing similar or even more severe problems.
“The loss of cash in the bank puts our club under the most severe strain and threat. We have already begun making operational adjustments to impact our costs and will be taking further steps over the next week or so to mitigate the effects of the crisis on our club.
“Difficult decisions will have to be made. But every decision we do make will be with two key priorities in mind, firstly to look after our people, and, secondly, to ensure the club remains in as healthy a financial position as possible.
