Are You Charging Enough For Labor?

It is critical that you include all employee costs when you begin figuring out how much an employee is actually going to cost you or when you are calculating how much to charge per hour for employee services.

I have created an interactive spreadsheet you can use to calculate the labor burden for a specific employee, or for a certain wage level. You can download it for free using the link at the bottom of this page.
