re: What do hourly employees do during a natural disaster?

I'm amazed at all the people who think they should get paid for time off due to a hurricane and not lose any paid time off. There's been many hurricanes and tropical storms over the years that resulted in closures, yet I've never heard of such a thing. Covid helicopter money got everyone crazy now. The company was not making money either in most cases. Most companies don't have the ability to just print money like the government can.

Exactly! What don't people understand? Company doesn't make money, you don't get paid. Government can't force a company to pay people with money they don't have. If we would have stayed closed for 2 weeks that is zero income for 2 weeks. Where would they expect payroll to come from? I, as the owner, could forgo a paycheck, but I know most could not. Sadly, the ones that need it the most are the ones still not back at work.

Where did I say they should be paid for not working?

Well, you seemed to be responding to someone who said they weren't paying hourly workers because they didn't return. Maybe I read into it too much if you don't feel that way; apologies. I still feel my statement is warranted though.
