I run a small company providing support to schools and businesses, but it has grown to the point where there is too much work for one person to handle.
I have tried using contractors, the issue being getting a DBS check and training them on the systems is a expensive and time consuming process, when they don't seem to hang around for long.
I am now considering employment, but cant work out how it would work out without the company making a loss.
It seems the going rate for a experienced computer technician is about £35k a year. I expect as a employer there would be extra costs on top of this amount including holiday cover, sick pay, pregnancy leave, employer's national insurance contribution, pension payments, and the risk of having to pay long term sick pay.
Is there a costs calculator I could use to work this out?
This would also help to work out how much work I need to bring in, and what I need to charge customers to make it profitable.
