Our brilliant government officials have perfected a solution to financial problems, and 21_states are using it as of July 2009!     Work Furloughs!

• Give employees one day off every week: save 20% of your payroll.
• Four days off each week: save 80% of your payroll.
• Give employees every day off without pay: save 100% of your payroll.
 

Warning: If any of your employees actually do useful work, then there will be an impact on your customers. Here are two examples on how to deal with it:
 

1) For a dentist 

Tell your patients to reschedule for a day when the staff is working. Reassure them that their dental work will be completed, but that there will be numerous delays.

 2) For a restaurant 

The quality of your food and service will decrease, so put a sign in your window that asks for pity:   The current economic problems require everybody to share the pain. Thank you for not complaining about our substandard food and service.
