Firstly, you do realize that your username shows you've been a member here for 2 years, right?
What do you need to know abut labor costs? If you are trying to figure out how many employees you need, how have things been going so far with the number of employees you have? I have 7 rooms and have one housekeeper.
You need to break down where you need help:
- Cook
- Housekeeping
- Front desk
- Servers at breakfast
- Check-in/Check-out staff
- etc
Who does the marketing, shopping, accounting and all the other stuff?
THEN, once you know who you need, go to your state's website for jobs and check the salary ranges for the positions you'll be hiring. We pay a lot more than the state average, but we've never found anyone willing to work for $8/hr. It may be a LOT different where you are. There may be a lot of people looking for work or not. That's the next piece to the puzzle.
So, what staff do you need, what's the going rate in your area, is there a large pool of workers available or not?.
