<< I found this old message to Dis-Forum and would appreciate a formula to
calculate the real on-costs involved in employing a support worker. Our
payroll quote maximum of 17.4% to cover employers NI and pension
contributions. but this does not appear to cover annual leave, sick pay,
insurance, admin costs etc.
Can you suggest an appropriate % or other formula to use?
many thanks,

As I've said before, anyone employed for more than 13 weeks is entitled to 4
weeks paid leave under recent European legislation. Actually, it has been in
force for a year, it was recently upped from 3 to 4 weeks. Any support worker
employed regularly ovet more than one term would qualify.
Sick pay is difficult, you need to ask your Human Resources people what the
average should be (sensitive one ). Insurance - well, a one off payment
covers your employer liability but it would be fair to add so,mething for
that, Admin should be based on what time their 'line manager' and other
support staff spend dealing with them - also, more people need more
accomodation.
If you talk to any contract hire company or large employer you will probably
find 75% to 100% overhead is considered reasonable. Shocking isn't it.
