You have to account for these cases in your rules.

Why? They can't afford an employee. They shouldn't hire one.

Already explained why... Lots of positions are just nice to have, but are subsidized already, entirely, by other positions that generate all revenue. In many cases you don't want the business to go away entirely, and in many cases the business wouldn't even fail, you'd just end up with the optional positions terminated, so those employees make 0/hr instead.
