No they don't.  They pass it along to you as lower salary.

No they don't. They add it to his hourly cost and mark it up accordingly and pass it on to the costumer. I think he's service related. Service related people aren't viewed as corporate overhead.

Every HR professional will tell you, the total cost of an employee to a company is based on pay and benefits.  Nothing gets passed on,  That's nonsense.  Customers have no vested interest in paying for employee benefits.

Or, to put it another way, everything gets passed on including pay.

Yes, I know that's the conservative mantra, but the real world works entirely on low-cost or best value basis, depending on the good or service.  Both those models contain no calculus for pay and benefits, only being cheaper and better than the competition.
