Is that a sign that they enjoyed a much-needed break, and could afford to close - or that they are doing so poorly this time of year that they can't afford the extra staff costs?
One Sidney business:
Where were all the businesses in Sidney today? Closed!
The town was full of people and we were overrun with customers.
What a lost opportunity! Customers asked us why is everyone closed.
Oh well we profited.
Thank to my staff

With regard to wages, the stat gives your employee, full or part-time, an average day's pay for the stat automatically, and working it means 1.5 times the pay, plus a paid day off in lieu. I don't know... in what is already a short month, can business afford to take in zero income, when they still have the same fixed costs (rent, insurance etc.)?
