Team SCL,
This was a tough week. My husband coined a phrase "20% laid off."
Unfortunately, 50% of our business is currently impacted by governmental orders stating that our work is non-essential. This is bitter-sweet. I certainly want people to be safe, but we've had to make some tough decisions and in the geographies that were hit first we've started to see lay-offs. For the rest of us, our compensation has been reduced to 80% for those that still have PTO they are able to use (hence, I've been "20% laid off"), or 60% for those that don't. Anyone on an active job site can still bill their project 100%. This is our world for the next four weeks.
I'd like to know what is going on in other parts of the country. How are your firms dealing with employees during this time with the slow downs, lack of ability to get inspections, material delays and closures?
