If I kept employing someone that was a net-negative I'd be penalizing those who are keeping their stuff together by keeping them on the payroll during a market downturn... pandemic or not. You don't stay in business by accepting extraneous risk over people's personal problems.

Leave the work to people who want to work... simple as that.
