Hammond chose the cheapest contract bid for his computer system needs, choosing a contracting/consulting agency in Cambridge MA. Nedry worked for them and was responsible for fulfilling the contract. He complains about not getting paid enough personally and I doubt there was further room in the contract budget for more headcount.

Again, this was because Hammond went cheap on the contract. This is just one instance where he is repeatedly shown to be a cheapskate throughout the movie.
