Thanks.  I paid them for the day too.  But I am sure they were a bit stressed 
and wondering about the future.

I have to commend you for furlough. Id bet the majority of employers would just 
work through it. Reality is nothing would happen, no harm, no foul. but can you 
imagine being the poor bastard who got injured that day on the job. Sure they 
can sue you into oblivion, but that doesnt provide in the interim. I like to 
see people doing the right thing

  I have never missed a payroll.  I personally have missed many payroll checks 
over the last 40 years but my employees have never missed a check.  I have seen 
companies declare bankruptcy.  I had a wife and a secretary (this was 25 years 
ago, Jenny knows better now) think they could miss making payroll deposits when 
cash was short.  A personal visit by the IRS was a wonderful learning 
experience.  I have seen banks come in and repo everything and sell at at 
auction.  I have seen business owners get busted boinking the cute admin 
assistant and his wife then deciding to hook up the the accountant who knew 
where all the assets were.  That was an interesting divorce.

  But today.... a new one.... and one more serious than any of the above. 

  I got notified that my workers comp policy had been cancelled.  Totally out 
of the blue.  No warning.  I immediately  furloughed all employees and then 
shut down.   Seems a few weeks ago they request a 941 from us.  We didn’t get 
around to sending it.  No warnings that the policy would be canceled they just 
canceled it and sent an email 24 hours after the fact.  They claim they sent a 
warning letter but we have not seen it.  

  So we are sending the 941 and supposedly will be reinstated by midnight.  
Then an embarrassing letter to all employees got sent.  And I am paying them 
all for today.  

  Never ever considered how serious no WC coverage could be.  We were clearly 
at fault for not giving them one of the half dozen documents they request every 
6 months or so.  I guarantee we will not ignore the data request ever again.  
But WOW.
