Price the same worker four ways in one sitting. Agency, payrolled, on payroll without benefits, and fully benefited. The gap is rarely where owners expect.
What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
Also in the download: Contingent Labor Cost and Conversion Workbook (Excel, file 5). Every file is in the same folder, named with the number shown here so the steps below point straight at it.
How to use it
Contingent labor is often the largest off-payroll spend a company carries, and it sits outside the HRIS headcount. This workbook prices the same workers four ways: on a staffing agency bill rate, on a payrolling arrangement at a lower markup, on your payroll without benefits, and on your payroll fully benefited. It shows the total cost of each route, the savings against the agency option, and how fast any conversion cost pays for itself. The Program Model rolls the same math across every pay band in your contingent program, the Burden Builder turns the burden defaults into your real numbers, and the Scenario Compare weighs staying put against a partial or full conversion.

Extend the system
These products address the next connected step in the same situation, operating method, or industry.
See what an employee costs in full, not just the salary. The workbook adds payroll taxes, benefits, workers’ comp, paid time off, and overhead. It then gives you the fully loaded annual cost, the cost per month, and the real hourly rate.
Turn a salary into the number you can price and bid against: the fully burdened hourly cost and the multiplier on base pay. Set each employer cost, and the workbook divides the all-in cost across the productive hours you really get.
Put a number on what unplanned absence costs your business. Enter each department’s headcount, pay, and absence days.
