Hiring my favorite Handyman as full time..

[Rao V.]

Hi,

I have a good understanding with my handyman. Now I want to hire him as an employee. This guy is amazing and does pretty much everything except electrical/plumbing. What I want to understand is how much will be the cost? e.g Lets say he charges me $30/hr and he will be working for appx 300 hrs in a project so my cost will be:

A- if hired as handyman $30 = $9000

B- If hired as Employee ?? Keep in mind he will still get $30/hr as my employee. What I don't know if what will be additional cost e.g Worker compensations, Insurance, Soc sec, Hr expenses etc. Also is there an agency that can help me?

Thanks
