Let's try again, the contractors we are talking about, are small 1 to 5 man shops, they operate doing small remod jobs, and some do service repair work, we are not talking about large construction projects, the topic was, when business slows, and you have skilled employees, what are some of the ways to prepare for slow times, to avoid a lay off, is it reduce hours?, reduce days, or, lay off until things pick-up.
Remember, for a small business, the overhead cost continue, even when there is no work, laying off your employees, will not produce the needed income, to continue in business, finding work, will produce the needed income.
