Difference in wage cost between worker and clerk

Although the 2014 Unified Statute eliminated many differences between blue-collar and white-collar workers, significant differences still remain in wage calculation and costs.

Federal mobility budget is cost-saving

The federal mobility budget can be cost-saving for employers for three main reasons: the flat-rate TCO calculation often underestimates actual costs by assuming limited private mileage. Second, the mobility budget remains constant while with a company car the CO2 contribution and rejected expenses on the SG&A increase annually. Finally, a mobility budget eliminates the obligation to intervene in commuting expenses such as bicycle allowances or public transport subscriptions.

How to calculate a fair freelance fee

It is often the case that you have to calculate fair compensation for self-employed workers in relation to the pay package as an employee. Too often the wage cost is assumed, which is simply not a correct starting point. Only net income, in both the short and long term, is a correct starting point.

Freelance fees benchmarking doesn't work

HR managers and buyers who need to negotiate an adequate freelance fee are often looking for a handhold. Data from a benchmark give the appearance that they can provide a handle on what is reasonable. However, a benchmark cannot meet that expectation, and there are three good reasons for that.
