If you leave your store open on shabbos for your non-jewish or non-observant workers to run, and you don't make any money from it (give all profits to workers) is that ok?

1This is a big sugyah, primarily dealing with halakhot from the first few simanim from hilchot shabbat in the S"A O"C. Very complicated, ask a qualified poseq. – Adam Mosheh Dec 2 '11 at 7:06
There are a lot of factors involved, but starting with one of the more basic ones: Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 243:1ff) rules that if the store is known to belong to a Jew and that it's not the kind of business that is typically sublet to someone else, then it is indeed forbidden to have non-Jews work there on Shabbos, because then it becomes apparent that they're doing the work on your behalf.
No,you can not.
