How can you justify leaving a position open, or paying money to a non-worker?</font>
Easy. It's the law to leave the position open, and if I violate the law, then I'm going to pay a hell of a lot more.
As for paying someone the difference in pay, I'm still paying less than if that person was working for me. And I'd just consider it to be my patriotic duty to take care of someone who is called up.
