What sets the price
No rate appears anywhere on this site. These five inputs do.
| Input | Direction | Rough magnitude |
|---|---|---|
| Headcount | more workers, lower per-head | the step changes are at 8, 25 and 60 |
| Shift pattern | night and rotating shifts cost more | a two-shift rotation is materially above straight days; a three-shift rotation more again |
| Skill grade | four grades: general, semi-skilled, certificated, technical | the spread across the four grades is wide — wider than most clients expect |
| Contract length | longer is cheaper | 3 months is our floor and our worst price; 12 months is our best |
| Standby cover level | more guaranteed cover, higher rate | this is the line most clients cut and most regret |
