why don't you pay overtime?
Because it costs more in taxes to pay overtime.

I'm a little confused. How can your crew have been with you 7 and 10 years, if it's only your second year?

50% is all of our payroll burden & WC cost. We actually "lease" our employees so all payroll, taxes, payroll returns, SS, unemployment etc are all handled by the payroll service. We just pick up the checks. If there is a claim, they take care of it. So that 50% is worth alot more because we don't do the work of payroll.
To carry a single man on insurance is about $10 per week. If the man is married, he pays that cost which is the norm here.
Yes, John, that's the law, but it's not followed by the small companies as they are not likely to be audited & for other reasons. The large companies do pay time and a half over 40 hrs.

Hmmmm, the old corp. downsize trick is even in arbor care. I know it is difficult for a small company to comply with all the personel stuff. And there is a great lose to the leased worker. It's not a family company then, no real company team. Or maybe I'm wornge and this is another accepted practice to make the box more constricting.
