Oh, yeah - Toyota here in G'town did close down the factory for a couple of weeks earlier this year to save money.
What they did was offer to every employee, that if you came into the factory to do cleaning, etc.; or you went out into town and spent a week at Habitat for Humanity, soup kitchen, picking up trash, whatever community service you wanted - you'd get paid your regular salary. You also had the choice of getting a week's unpaid vacation.
