I have a service company and I recently increased the number of employees
by
more than 30%. The average pay for the new hires is $14.

A day? :-) (only joking)

So you added one new employee to your three-person staff?

grin The Devil is in the details. ;-)



Didn't you recently post that you keep all of your employees down to 30
hours a
week, or less, to avoid paying certain fringe benefits?

No. All of my employees work less than 40 hours, but I use 32 hours as the
time needed to reach "full time" status...and they all work at least 32
hours per week. In the summer, my hygienist does go down to 24 hours per
week, but still qualifies as "full-time". I only work 4 days per week, so I
didn't think it would be fair to tell the staff that they didn't qualify for
benefits because they didn't work 40 hours.
