Math problem need solution: how many employees does my friend need to hire?

Bout three fiddy...

I'm reading this as 23 employees for every 12 hr shift round the clock.

That's 7728 work hrs per week.

29 hrs per employee so

29x=7728

7728/29=266.5 employees

Hire a midget

Depends on how long the minimum shifts are for. These assumptions for min. employees are for unconventional working shifts with the 29 hour cutoff. Sure its a theoretical minimum but its pretty useless because you could never pull it off.

Are you running 12 hour shifts? Because then that's only 24 hours per employee, I doubt anyone is coming in for just another 5 hours one day.

I'd assume you need to fill 23 x 7 = 161 12-hour shifts a week and each employee could only work 2 shifts so 81 employees. Then you'd have some cushion of 5 hours on each employee to backfill hours missed by other people.

Your buddy trying to get under some sort of healthcare provision threshold or something?

Business needs 23 employees at all time. All employees can work a maximum of 29 hours. Hours needed employees would be 12 hours a day 7 days a week (84 hours a week). How many employees is the minimum amount you need?

Better question, how are you going to find 23 adults who are willing to work less than 30 hours and have no benefits? Going to be a ton of turnover. Hope this is a restaurant and you are not drug testing.

1 is not enough, 2 are too many

Hire 23 illegals...pay them cash....let them work 7/12's.
