And then you woke up and discovered the truth. You cannot be so naive to think it stops there, can you? If it costs more to do business, the balance comes from YOU.
When I hire an employee, I have to consider the WHOLE package and not just the wages. That means insurance, vacation, sick leave, etc, etc.
As I have asked you before, simply tell me how much taxes I paid if I made 100K. It includes EVERYTHING lumped in and not just the IRS figure. If the business gets taxed more or the cost goes up, it gets passed onto the customer. Unlike the govt, it cannot print more money to make payroll.
You want 100% coverage on insurance? Sure. I'll give it to you but I'll take it somewhere else. Either out of your paycheck or pass it onto the customer or both. You want 3 weeks of paid vacation? Sure. I'll pay out less somewhere to make the number work or add that to the cost of doing business and charge the customer more or both.
