To All

I have snipped quite a bit of the basic email to provide some overall
information

Here are some interesting numbers - I'll just use percentages of one hours
pay

There are 2080 hours in a year (52 weeks @ 40 hours per week)

For a contract employee - If you don't work, you don't get paid.
Contract people only work about 1740 hours per year
(according to some statistics that I read a while back.)

******************************************************************
*** Salaried employee *** (W-2, with benefits)

Salary -- -- 1.000% (what you think you are getting per
hour)
Benefits -- -- .300% (of your hourly salary -includes all
types of bennies)
Social Security -- .075% (of your hourly salary)
(employer's contribution)
401K matching -- .040% (maybe high, but might be average
contribution
(employer's contribution)
accumulated percentage -- 1.415%

Paid Holidays (you get paid even if you don't work) (10 days @ 8 hours per
day) 80 hours
Vacation (you get paid for not working) (10 days @ 8 hours per
day) 80 hours

(AND you do not have the expenses of running the business)

business.)
