What are the labour overheads for my business?

Within Tenzo you can see your labour costs including or excluding labour overheads.

How do I change these settings?

To confirm whether you are looking at a cost including or excluding labour costs, select the  button, then "Labour" to see whether the box for 'Include labour overhead' is ticked or not.

To calculate the top-level labour overhead % for your business you can toggle between turning labour overheads off and on. You can then calculate the overall labour overhead % as follows:

[(Labour cost with labour overheads included - Labour cost without labour overheads)/Labour cost without labour overheads * 100)]

Please note that this will give you an overall percentage regardless or employee type i.e. whether they are paid annually or hourly. 

The types of labour overheads 

There are currently six types of labour overhead rules that can be applied in Tenzo. Depending on the geography you are in, some of these will have minimum % rates or requirements outlined in law. You should take legal advice if you are not sure what labour overheads apply to your business.
