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.
