Staff vs contractor vs outstaff
Full cost of a worker in three models
Parameters
Employee: gross + ~22% employer contributions (income taxes come out of gross). Contractor: rate + 5% single tax + social contribution — cheapest but risks reclassification as employment. Outstaff: rate + 10–20% fee — shifts paperwork to the provider, costlier but legally clean.
