And are you covering your employee's insurance? Why not drop that? If you're covering 100%, only cover 90% and make them pay the other 10%. Don't cover it at all (legally you only have to provide them access to a group plan, not pay for it).
I shouldn't have to tell you how to run your business. If you think insurance is too much of an expense, then you have plenty of ways of minimizing it as an expense.  |
Your not telling me how to run my business. You are working hard at not answering the question.
Workcomp - Our mod rate dropped 3/10ths of a point. Our sales and payroll have gone up. The actual cost of workcomp will go up about 18%.
Healthcare - No one can answer that. I was told, at least 14%.but it could be twice that. It went up 11% this year when we renewed. Playing hardball with the people(direct labor) that make the money for our company is the perfect way to demoralize the workforce. Companies can either spend the money on decent benefits or be a revolving door for employees. Then they end up spending that money on constant training.
And I am not complaining about anything.
