Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The Estimated Total Cost ($247,975) was calculated by multiplying the current salaries of the 21FTE's ($818,940) by the proposed 25% increase and applying the increase to employee benefits. The current employee benefits rate (FICA, Workers Comp, PERS) of 21.12% was used to arrive at the increase in employee benefit expense of $43,240.
Currect salaries: $818,940 x 25% = 204,735 Fringe Benefits: $204,735 x 21.12% = $43,240 Total Estimated Cost: $204,735 + $43,240 = $247,975
