This is the total amount you spent in a payroll cycle on labor and is your labor cost. For example, if a restaurant has payroll expenses of $4,000, plus $306 in FICA taxes, $600 for unemployment coverage and $444 in worker's compensation, its total labor cost is $5,350 for the period.Step 10.

Consideration may be a promise to perform a certain act -- for example, a promise to fix a leaky roof in return for a payment of $1,000 -- or a promise not to do something, such as build a second story on a house that will block the neighbor's view (in return for money or something else).
Consideration is what the parties agree to exchange. The consideration in the contract must be something of value, but it need not be a tangible or monetary item. Consideration can also be an action that one is not legally obligated to take, or refraining from doing something one has the legal right to do.
