You act like every company is sitting on nounds of cash. Most businesses would likely end up going tits up if they tried to pay everyone for 2 or more weeks with zero production


Got news for you then, they're likely going tits up anyway if they can't keep key personnel on payroll for 2 weeks without production.

Hopefully they had "business interruption" insurance which makes them able to pay employees...

1.

They should have business interruption insurance and the government will help them keep the paychecks coming.

If your company can’t cover one payroll without going broke, you probably shouldn’t be in business in the first place.




This is an ignorant statement. You’d be surprised how many businesses that have existed for a long time wouldn’t be able to cover this expense. The majority of corporations aren’t Fortune 500 companies with millions of dollars on-hand

The OP was about salaried employees, which is usually management and key personnel. I'm not talking about hourly or commission-paid employees or anyone that wouldn't get paid if they didn't show up for work, clock their hours in, or make a sale/product. Salary is a fixed wage rate that doesn't change with the amount of hours worked. If your business model doesn't have enough cash on hand to pay for your key personnel for at least a month, then you have a shitty business model and likely will fold in this crisis.
