Let’s say you’ve got some employees who’ve been bribed by the government into sitting around until September when their unemployment benefits run out, and let’s assume that amount is $1600. First, you might question how valuable that employee was if he/she isn’t motivated to come back to work for a $1600 bonus. Second, you might have to explain to your other employees that you’re bribing X to come back to work. They might say they’ll take the $1600 in added compensation and don’t rehire X. You could also go to the EIDL or SBA to borrow funds to pay the bounty, either to X orhis/her colleages, because presumable you’re going to leverage their wages into more in revenues. So, you get more back and increase sales.
Think about it over the weekend.
