to remain for a longer period of time

Explanation:
This is often translated as 'stay' (as in: a long stay), but this has more the sense of recreation or pleasure. In this business context, I would use the verb 'remain' (and make it an active sentence): "[Employees] may remain in the company for a longer period of time only if this is necessary for business purposes."

remain

Explanation:
Staff should not remain on the company's premises for longer than the conduct of their business requires / for longer than it takes them to complete their business.
Again, just one of many. It may need adjustment depending on what "the company" is.
