Put in your own numbers and see what it costs when your systems stop, per hour, per morning and per day. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Use what each person costs the business, including employer’s National Insurance and pension if you know it.
Leave at £0 if you’re not sure. The wage cost alone is usually eye-opening.
