It is arbitrary, but we have to draw the line somewhere.
It is not about money, tax is about money. This is about the extra work needed to accommodate for said obligations, it can involve several full time jobs, and the state considers that it is too much for a company of less than 50 employees.
Really, it is a lot of paperwork, and the more a company spends on paperwork, the less there is to pay employees.
- mjevans 5y agoCould this be improved by a government agency where they do this paperwork for you at a per-employee cost if your company is under X employees (say 3x the limit at which the paperwork kicks in)?
- notreallyserio 5y agoThe easiest improvement would be to remove the employer from the equation and just provide taxpayer-funded benefits to all. The main reasons employers are still involved are inertia followed by a concern that employees won't feel as obligated to stay in shit jobs.
