Does my employer need to file an amended LCA and H1B when salary decreases from 92k to 70k?

Hello reader,

I hope you are in good health.

My current employer is decreasing my salary by $20000. The employer states that an LCA has been filed with the Labor Department.

A few details on my approved H1B with last LCA are as below:
Job Title - Software Engineer
SOC Occupation Title - Software Developers, Applications
SOC Code - 15-1132
Wage Level - 2

My I140 has been approved in EB2 category.

Would the SOC Code of the new LCA be changed? And if so are there any damages on H1B renewal next year or on my I140 (Green Card)if the SOC Code changes? Does my employer need to file an amended LCA and H1B when salary decreases from 92k to 70k?
 
Have you or the employer checked with Legal? These sort of queries ought to be addressed by the company's legal department that deals with visa/immigration matters.
 
The legal department is not credible/competitive for the company I work for. Any expert advice is appreciated. Such a drastic change in salary should need an H1B Amendment. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
