I think it comes down to the type of profit margin the business makes (not the only consideration but definately a big one).
I don't know the situation here, but lets say that the business has a net income (ignoring taxes) of $2k per month (after KG's salary or wage is paid). The $1600 example given above will virtually erase the net income for the month. If we are talking about a business that pulls in a profit margin of $50k per month, I don't think it would be a big deal.
That being said, if I was employed by KG and didn't get the day off (with pay) it would go straight to the labour board.... errrrrr, I mean, I would simply suck it up. Its one day people, deal with it!
KG - Do you give your employees paid sick days? If so, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a couple calling in sick!
