lol at socialist sally. That's awesome.
Anyways. I agree with what Jiri said. The small business world is a tough world. Employees are getting quite used to thumping their chests lately because of the job market and the problem is that business managers can't do anything to stop it.
Without knowing the type of business you run... I guess I'll try an uneducated guess here. Personally I would address the situation like this. I'd call a real quick meeting, explain to the employees your problem (helps with understanding), tell them they're working on Monday. I'd tell them they're working time and a half, and then, I'd let them know how appreciative I am by, like others have said, buying them a pizza or what not.
And I'd make sure to tell them my thanks. That usually helps too.
