$60,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $28.85 an hour.
$60,000 ÷ 1,664 hours = $36.06 an hour.
Perk or pay rise? If a shorter week is on the table, open this…

Save this for the next vacancy. Send it to the manager who blames the candidate pool.
Where do days leak most: approval, interviews or offers?
A role opens on day 1. The hire accepts on day 31.
The person hired entered the process on day 11.
A third of the vacancy passed before they even appeared.

8. Review every open role weekly.
Four columns: days open, current stage, next action, owner.
Any role with no next action is where days leak. Fix that row first.
