Wages as a fixed expense
Since we don't layoff workers we consider labor as a fixed expense or as an expense that is regular part of our overhead. We have very little turn-over and we feel this has helped us maintain quality.
We are very careful in the selection process. Most employees come to us by referral and usually start out as temporary or in the case of exempt staff, contractors. Try before you buy.
