We have 28 employees. 6 are salary. 2 are contractors. Some work very few hours. Probably about 8 work only a few hours a week. There are 3 full time paid hourly and then a bunch from 10 - 20 (hourly paid) hours a week. 
With schools closed, we have a few dad's who would have needed to take PTO anyway. 
I'll let you know what we figure out in our financial analysis. I will say our Financial Director (who does all the insurance, payroll, bookkeeping, etc) has no shortage of work right now.

Sue,

We're probably going to need to do that as well. Please keep the list
updated with anything you come up with? Also how many employees you have
responsibility for would be interesting in that context.

Thanks!!
