Kaf Hachaim 117:12 cites those who are lenient and those who are strict.

Pri Toar 117:3 is strict on feeding one's workers with non-kosher food. However, he answers the Pri Chadash's proof by explaining that telling working that they can buy whatever non-kosher food they want and he'll pay the bill since he didn't buy it and then give it to them.
