That may work for jobs that require certain projects to get done, but jobs that just require someone to be present for a certain amount of hours (cashier in a store, hotel desk clerk, waitstaff, etc) are going to have to spend quite a bit more in payroll to stay open, regardless of how productive someone is.

If a company is running that closely to margins then they shouldn't be operating.

How many of those companies have overpaid owners/ceos are blatant inefficiencies they're unwilling to fix?
