This is a great idea. Certainly your employees cost more than $25/hr.

That is awesome. I wish my company did that.

Or even $10 per employee would be an improvement....

I think this is cool, but profit per employee would be more interesting.

heratyian | karma 15 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2022-11-03 09:37:03

crazy idea. let's just give our employees money.

Maybe pay each person the same rate they earn in their day job.

This is a great idea! Servicing employees in this manner will make any company more attractive.

Here’s an idea, call them employees.

Open own shop, pay the same wage as other employers but work less and let your employees work less.

dan00 | karma 736 | avg karma 2.07 · | 2011-12-23 09:57:35+00:00

That's a great idea! I think your employer should do the same for you.

I love that suggestion, it would be impactful and resonate more with other employers than some arbitrary financial figure

Here's a novel idea. Instead of paying top dollar for "these kind of informations about gig workers", pay top dollar for employees.

tamana | karma 1354 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2016-02-01 05:26:20+00:00

I would love to bungle my way to pay 15 employees wages and substantial revenue.

andrei_says_ | karma 6527 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2020-08-21 21:31:11+00:00

What if we could all pay an optional $5 / year for dedicated staff?

asukhwani | karma 38 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2021-07-22 08:09:24

Indeed! We really like the idea of making the employer pay for it. We think it makes it a better benefit if the employee doesn’t have to pay.

kunle | karma 5497 | avg karma 6.66 · | 2012-10-19 22:19:42+00:00

Haha thanks. We dont (yet) have enough employees to have a scheme, but good idea. It's coming.

williamdclt | karma 2799 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2017-02-14 13:01:45

Sounds like a very good idea. Companies should do that !

Myrmornis | karma 1804 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2018-01-04 19:47:25

That sounds great, but I believe you will find it to be too expensive if your company grows bigger.

RyJones | karma 2680 | avg karma 2.67 · | 2020-10-10 15:52:01+00:00

I really like this plan. Perhaps the salary could go into escrow up front, to make the hook set harder on employers?

jrowley | karma 1721 | avg karma 2.42 · | 2019-03-28 14:21:19+00:00

I work at a 5 person startup, so wouldn’t want to endorse that at this stage but maybe if we get to 200 or 2000 employees it’d make more sense. I highly value protecting workers and ensuring fair compensation.

6510 | karma 1565 | avg karma 0.55 · | 2023-01-18 11:26:33

could create a single pool of workers on a fixed salary and rotate them.

that is, if you are stubborn about paying more
