Let's see,
match my SS,
Workers Comp (not current on price, but it's dam expensive)
$2.51/hr into pension
80% of the over $20k for insurance

Pretty sure in our case it's not 150% to cover cost and start earning, but it's
substantial. We used to have an annua "State of the Company" meeting.
Along with brochures with breakdowns showing it all.
Also they would present the Company finances, no $#s.
But percentages. Products, machines, raw materials......
Geek that I am I enjoyed all that.
A provided breakroom?
Rest room facilities?
Utilities?
A roof over your head while working?
Local property and equipment taxes on the above?
Equipment to work with/on?
Personnel for handling payroll & general bookkeeping?

There's more to it than what most see.



A bit of a point, overreaching a bit?
Facilities mostly are part of the job, not the employees.

Machines? You are going to blame the cost of machinery on hiring employees? Holy [bleep] am I expensive. If the machines are my fault,
are raw materials?



It is interesting how these threads show the resentment
some employers have for their employees.
Bet that is the employees fault, and that you are a fair, kind and benevolent
boss.

Goes both ways IME. Folks can always leave their employ if dissatisfied just as the company should be able to toss an employee so desired.

Conduct is the best proof of character.
