Have you ever considered the actual expense of employing a full-time worker as a business owner? In addition to wages, other costs are also associated with it.
1. Pay:
The annual income of a full-time employee is roughly £30,000; however, this might vary by area and sector. However, outsourcing is beneficial as it helps save money because you just pay for the work that is really done and not for a full-time income.
2. Contributions to National Insurance (NICs):
You have to contribute to National Insurance as an employer on behalf of each of your employees. Employers are now charged 13.8% of each employee's earnings over £8,840 annually. Because the workers aren't your employees, you don't have to pay National Insurance contributions for them when you outsource.
3. Contributions to pensions:
Employers are obligated to offer a workplace pension to their employees in addition to their national insurance contributions. The minimum contribution rate will rise to 8% of the employee's wages by April 2025 from the present 5% minimum. In the case of outsourcing, there is no need to provide a pension for the employees because they are not your employees.
4. Holidays and sick pay:
Every employee is entitled to a minimum of 28 paid vacations annually so as a result, you will need to account for the expense of paying your employee while they are on vacation. Whereas outsourcing eliminates the need for holiday compensation.
5. Development and training:
At the end of the day, it’s required that every company spend money on staff training and development if they want employees to work to the best of their abilities. This development and training include things like seminars, classes, and on-the-job training. These activities might not only range in price, but they also cost you crucial time. In the case of outsourcing, you don’t need to give training since the workers are in charge of developing their own skills and knowledge.
6. Office Facilities and Technology
You must give your workers a workspace and the tools they need to execute their jobs. For example, a desk, computer, phone, and office supplies may be included. This cost will never decrease but only increase with the passage of time especially if you have a large team. But in the case of outsourcing, you don't need to give the workers an office or any tools because they can work from anywhere.
7. The price of hiring:
The expenses connected with hiring new personnel come last. This includes posting the position, reviewing applicants, conducting interviews, and doing background checks on potential hires.
