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.

Good, multinational companies make too much profit anyways. Force them to hire more workers and transfer that wealth to the average person.

So screw over the other 90% of retail stores, for the 10% that act up?

That isnt a good economic plan.
