Budget paid people against billable client work

A signed client forecast pays for delivery days. An employee is paid through the quiet days too. Test the twelve-month commitment before inviting an EOR to quote.

Fictional example loaded: two proposed hires at 20 paid days each, 14 billable days each and 500 per realised day. The 500 provider charge per employee is a modelling assumption, not any provider’s price. No employee names or other personal data are requested.

1. Set the work and the commitment

Currency label One currency throughout; no conversion Proposed employees Employees in smaller core Paid working days per employee/month Billable days per employee/month Before client break; must be no more than paid days Realised revenue per billable day Salary per employee/month Employer costs and benefits per employee/month Provider fee per employee/month Leave blank if unquoted Fee status Overflow capacity, days/month Overflow cost per used day Contractor or supplier assumption; legality and terms require separate review Client break starts in month 13 means no break in this forecast Replacement demand after break Billable days per proposed employee/month Deposit or reserve cash Optional confirmed amount; separate from expense

2. Compare the same client demand

3. Take the assumptions to finance

The forecast holds employment cost through month 12 even if the client breaks. It excludes other agency overhead, tax, financing, notice, severance and any unquoted charge. Overflow is paid only for modelled delivered days; its actual minimums may differ. Contribution is before those items, so a positive result is not net profit.

What to ask before treating this as a hire approval

Ask each proposed employer for the employing entity and country-specific role eligibility; salary, statutory employer costs, benefits, fee, conversion method, deposits and funding dates; notice and exit process if the account ends; treatment of IP and client confidentiality; and who takes a live employee issue forward. Confirm separately whether overflow work may lawfully use the proposed contractor or supplier arrangement.
