10 Hidden secrets associated with employment Costs
You might think employing a PA has got to be cheaper than outsourcing to a PA Service, right? Or, perhaps you might think you would save yourself a bundle on the seemingly ‘high’ rate for your outsourced professional, but have a closer look. Below we have identified 10 hidden costs associated with employment which you may not have considered:
The Employer pays for:
Reviewing CV’s, interviewing and follow-up
Preparing a contract and employment paperwork
Ongoing legal fees associated with employment
Time for induction and ongoing training and reviews
Purchase and maintenance of workspace and facilities
Ongoing acquisition of office supplies, furniture, equipment, etc.
Benefits such as NIC, SSP, Pensions, Holiday Pay, Annual Wages
Payroll administration fees, and HR costs
Downtime, absenteeism, smoke and coffee breaks
Holiday, sickness, maternity/paternity leave
We’re sure it doesn’t end there, when you consider all the legal ramifications involved.
By the time you’ve added up these hidden costs, your employee is now costing you almost 50% more than the PA service. And it would be even more costly to try to take on these tasks yourself, when you factor in your hourly rate.
