Ask yourself what type of person you are trying to hire. Are you looking for a creative type or a details person? Do you want someone who is right-brain-oriented? Or are you trying to hire a systems person?

If your employees will be full-time and you have a retirement plan like a 401k, SEP IRA, or Profit Sharing Plan, you will have to contribute some dough into their retirement account.

Don't just look at the numbers. Look at the bigger picture because this is a good thing for you. It will help you recruit, retain, and reward your employees.

Workers compensation insurance

Make a mandatory requirement for employers when they hire employees. This insurance is just a cost of doing business. You have to foot the bill. The nature of your business will determine what the premium will be.
