Your Cost Benefits in Using a CFPN Paralegal
By using the services of an experienced paralegal from the CFPN, you aren't burdened with any of the following expenses:
-
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the cost of employer-provided benefits for private industry workers in the West average about 26.0% of total compensation.
-
Legally required benefits accounts for about 35% of total benefit costs.
Using a paralegal from the Colorado Freelance Paralegal Network eliminates these hidden costs from your bottom line!
