How Much Do Benefits Cost Employers?

If you are concerned about the costs of offering employee benefits at your business or you would just like an idea of how much you will need to pay, there are some statistics you can go off of. In the 1990’s employee benefit plans had fluctuated greatly, costing employers anywhere from $5-$7 per hour an employee worked. By the early 2000’s this had dropped to about $4 an hour before it gradually increased to the rate of $8-$9 per hour at which it stands today. By December 2010, these rates had increased and total compensation costs were at about 30.3%.
