Introduction:
Water damage restoration companies face unique challenges. When disasters strike, these businesses must ramp up quickly to restore properties, but rising workers' comp premiums and complex labor costs can eat into profits. With California’s strict labor laws and increasing claim rates, managing overhead effectively is more critical than ever. That’s where Atlas Staffing Saver comes in—our interactive ROI calculator estimates your potential savings by comparing your current cost structure with our competitive pricing based on a 9008 janitorial classification.
The Challenge:
Every restoration project can mean unpredictable costs. With a high experience modification rate, even a few claims can push premiums sky-high. Many companies find that traditional staffing methods result in unnecessary expenses, making it harder to reinvest in quality equipment, employee training, and customer service. You need a way to see, in real time, how much you could be saving if you streamlined your payroll and workers' comp costs.
Introducing Atlas Staffing Saver:
Our Atlas Staffing Saver is an interactive calculator designed to give you an estimate of your total employment cost versus what you could pay using our service. Specifically, for water damage restoration companies, we use the 9008 janitorial classification as a proxy for your non-hazardous, labor-intensive roles. With a fixed Atlas all‑in base rate of 43.61%, our tool shows you how your current overall rate compares—and, more importantly, how much you could potentially save.
How It Works:
- Input Your Data:
- Number of Employees: Enter the number of workers on your team.
- Average Pay Rate ($/hr): Input the hourly wage you’re paying.
- Hours per Week: Specify the average hours each employee works.
- Your Current Overall Rate (%): This is the percentage you’re currently paying (including overhead, payroll taxes, etc.).
- Our Fixed Rate:
- We use a fixed Atlas base rate of 43.61% (for 9008 janitorial work) which reflects our optimized cost structure, leveraging our partnerships and streamlined operations.
- Calculate & Compare:
- The calculator computes your Weekly Payroll based on your inputs.
- It then calculates the Final Weekly Cost using our True Base Rate (which is the sum of our base overhead, payment terms, and the adjusted workers' comp rate).
- Finally, it compares your Current Weekly Cost with the Atlas Weekly Cost, showing you the potential savings both weekly and annually.
Example Scenario:
Imagine you have 5 employees earning an average of $20 per hour, working 40 hours a week, and you’re currently paying an overall rate of 45%.
- Weekly Payroll: 5 × $20 × 40 = $4,000
- Current Weekly Cost: $4,000 × 45% = $1,800
- Atlas Weekly Cost: $4,000 × 43.61% = $1,744.40
- Weekly Savings: $1,800 - $1,744.40 = $55.60
- Estimated Annual Savings: $55.60 × 52 ≈ $2,891.20
This example shows that even small percentage differences can add up to significant savings over time.
Why It Matters:
For water damage restoration companies, every dollar saved is reinvested into faster response times, better equipment, and more efficient operations. By reducing your overall labor costs, you can remain competitive in a market where margins are tight and quick recovery is essential.
