A new hire costs way more than the wage.
The salary is only the sticker price. On top of it sit payroll taxes, vacation and stat pay, workers' comp, benefits, plus the hidden bill for hiring, training, and the slow months before someone is productive. Put in a wage, pick your region, and see the true, fully-loaded number, then ask whether a system could give you the capacity without the payroll.
Your situation
And that's before they've made you a dollar
The loaded wage is the yearly cost. Getting to that first productive day carries its own bill:
-
~$4,700 to find and hire one person, ads, screening, and the ~6 weeks a role sits open. SHRM
-
Around $12,000 in half-speed output over the ~8 months it takes to reach full productivity. Gallup
-
If it doesn't work out, replacing them runs 50% to 200% of the salary over again. SHRM / U.S. DOL

In 15 minutes we'll look at the hours you're trying to hire away and whether a system covers them, for a fraction of a loaded salary, with none of the risk.
One year of a single hire is a lot of subscription. Let's see what that money buys you instead.
