Membership lets you itemise on-costs by country and state (auto payroll tax, WorkCover and leave loading), break overhead down to dollars per seat, itemise shrinkage, and download a branded PDF business case for leadership — plus the whole Workforce Management hub.
How this is calculated
Fully loaded annual cost = base wage + superannuation + other on-costs + overhead. The per hour and per minute figures divide that annual cost by your paid time (fully-loaded basis) or by your productive time — paid time minus shrinkage — when you switch the toggle. Leave sits inside shrinkage, so the productive view reflects the hours you actually get. All defaults are editable; itemise them for a sharper number.
