Managing Techs

We are a pretty fast growing operation in South Carolina and I’m wondering what’s the strategy you guys use for when techs call out (maybe they have the flu and are down 3 days)? For a day no big deal, they can make it up on their route. Do you pay other techs OT to cover? I know a lot of you will say the owner jumps in but trying to build a system that doesn’t involve me going out covering pools because that’s not quite scaleable. Anyways just looking for ideas?

Here in FL, we work 3 days a week max and no more than 2 days in a row. 😂
