FRINGE BENEFITS: OBVIOUS AND HIDDEN Available to Purchase

Fringe benefits may add 15 to 30 percent to the real cost of labor in your institution! If you are responsible for the budget, they could have both a professional and personal effect on you. Library literature contains few studies that compare or even document the costs of fringe benefits by kind or geographic location of the library. Almost every survey comparing salaries and the number of workers in the field excludes fringe benefit costs.
