Add each cost to determine the labor burden cost of the employee. In this example, assume you pay $2,000 in payroll taxes, $1,000 in insurance, $2,000 in benefits and $5,000 in supplies and other miscellaneous expenses. Add together $2,000, $1,000, $2,000 and $5,000 to get a labor burden cost of $10,000.
You can measure employee productivity with the labor productivity equation: total output / total input. Letâs say your company generated $80,000 worth of goods or services (output) utilizing 1,500 labor hours (input). To calculate your companyâs labor productivity, you would divide 80,000 by 1,500, which equals 53. This means that your company generates $53 per hour of work. You could also look at labor productivity in terms of individual employee contribution. In this case, instead of using hours as the input, you would use number of employees.
