If Comcast wasnt down in Houston, we would have sent everyone home way earlier. And we never stop paying just because we send people home.
That’s called salary as opposed to hourly.

Non-exempt salary I'm assuming then.
yeah we could do that, but it would gain the business nothing.

It's only a theory that treating employees well gains you nothing. There is a very strong theory that treating people well gains you a lot.
For example, how much do your employees try to improve their skills, work hard, stay with their job instead of looking for other opportunities, try to find ways to better the company? You're always telling us how people that work there do a terrible job, turnover a lot, don't treat the company or the career with any respect, even the owners seem to not care. So it's pretty hard to believe that treating the employees badly is making them money.
And more importantly, if you can't prove that it gains you something, even break even, it's a far better thing to treat people well than poorly.

The pay is noticeably lower than the hospitals around the area, so those things won't make them stay in most situations.

And what? giving them free money is treating them well? I'll agree that people should be treated well, I guess we just have different opinions on what that means.

Same here. Updated some scripts on my github.
https://github.com/sorvani/freepbx-helper-scripts/commits/masterThen went down the rabbit hole of improving one based on another person's changes to my scripts. Only half working so far, have it in a test branch.
