Reduction in employment costs is always crucial, but the challenges imposed by the economy sometimes make it a priority for many companies. There are numerous ways in which the utilization of contractors can reduce these costs. The major ones are identified below:
· No employee benefits costs for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k).
· No added expense for holidays, vacations, sick times, etc.
· No workers’ compensation claims or premium increases.
· No unemployment claims and associated costs when employees are terminated.
· No administrative costs for hiring and processing new paperwork.
· Candidates can be brought on board until the budget opens up and they can be hired permanently.
The hidden benefit is the ability to avoid the bad press associated with layoffs. In a world where employees blog and “twitter” about their employment experiences, it’s almost impossible to run damage control and keep negative information out of the media.
