@nixCraft funnily enough i worked for a company that was entirely remote but we were explicitly banned from working off the clock to comply with labor regulations

this meant if someone called in sick, they weren't tasked with finding a replacement. in fact, no one was. because we didn't call people when they weren't working.

we just overstaffed a touch and if it ended up being a bit too much overstaffed we offered voluntary undertime and usually someone would be happy to take it
