You realize that as the employer you will be paying overall more than you pay them. I don’t remember what employee overhead is offhand but like 15% or so I think. Plus you will need to pay into the unemployment trust fund quarterly and if they are over a certain number of hours and uninsured you pay a tax to the state for that as well.
Anyway, 15$ for the no experience doesn’t care employee. 17 for the shows up and is useful, 20 for the employee who will work to make your successful.
*I looked it up and the SBA says to plan on the cost being 1.25 to 1.5 times the wage for an employee.
** at 6250/month I bet they weren’t paying themselves and they were working a lot.

Sounds like i should go with 17-20 with benefits to be competitive from the responses. Yours was very detailed and helpful. Thank you!

My tone seemed a bit hostile and it wasn’t meant to be. I apologize for that but didn’t edit my comment. I think 17 to 20 will get you a good employee who will be invested in you success. Better yet, get some one at 17 and bump them to 19 after a year of good work to show your appreciation. Or 18.50 after 6 months and 20 after a year.
