All right I know what your question is.
As a retail worker for 20 some years I always thought it funny when a Christian employee refuses to work on a Sunday as that is their holy day, yet every Sunday you see them pushig their cars around the local grocery stores and Wal-Marts. I have even had customers come up and tell me how they think it is awful that the stores are open on sundays and make their employees work - this is in the store on a Sunday when I am working they are telling me this.
I had just gotten done with a discussion with my manager on how if they hired any more employees who couldn't work on a Sundays I would want all full moons and Pagan holidays off when a girl came up and wanted a job - nice, would be a good worker - but the first thing she said is she couldn't work Sunday. She didn't get hired. (my manager is the deacon of his church and he even worked alternating Sundays)

A New Testament Christian may work on Sunday. There is no writing that I find against it. The Israelites were not to work on the Sabbath Day (Saturday) according to Old Testament Doctrine. We are told to gather with the saints to worship, sing, hear the Lord's Word, Give as we are prospered, and to partake of the Lord's Supper. That can still be done if we work. Have a great Lord's Day!

Ex. 31:16, 17: “The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite [“a perpetual covenant,” RS]. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to time indefinite.” (Notice that sabbath observance was a sign between Jehovah and Israel; this would not be the case if everyone else were also obligated to keep the Sabbath. The Hebrew word rendered “perpetual” in RS is ‛oh‧lam′, which basically means a period of time that, from the standpoint of the present, is indefinite or hidden from sight but of long duration. That can mean forever, but not necessarily so. At Numbers 25:13 the same Hebrew word is applied to the priesthood, which later ended, according to Hebrews 7:12.)
Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16)
Col. 2:13-16: “[God] kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . . Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath.” (If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.)

You are correct, no need to pay people to work for you, get slaves as the Bible says.
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

There is no biblical basis for the observance of Sunday as the holy day.

A believer should be able to capitalize a sentence and spell "believer". It would at least lend some literacy to this non-question.

What?
How about:
By the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread.
The lazy mans sows discord.
How long will thou lie in bed thou sluggard?
A wise man seeks the Lord early.
Lots of reasons why we shouldn't be lazy. If we can do it, then just do it.

It's always nice to have the money to pay someone else if they need the dough.

The fact that you believe in a myth is what is sad.
