I know the feeling. I have 30+ on my payroll, 8 of which are PT. My Healthcare/dental insurance bill is $4000.00 plus per month, we pay 68% of the premium. My business insurance excluding workers comp and auto ((2) 24’ trucks and 1 van) is $28k/yr. Add to that DOT “fees and inspections and insurance on those vehicles, as well as the driver certificates/licenses costs, it is F’ing nuts. Our WC/SSI contribution is astronomical. Coupled w/ commercial property tax, Inventory tax as well as a number of other “permits”, our burden is overwhelming. I do not have the answer. I think I am (we are all) on the other side of the “system”.
I guess I am not smart enough to “work the system”
