Common Questions
What operators ask first.
What is labor burden in a restoration business?
Labor burden is everything an hour of labor costs beyond base wage: payroll taxes, workers' compensation, benefits, vehicles, owned equipment, and paid non-job time like PTO and training. For restoration operators it often adds 25 to 50 percent on top of base pay, which is the difference between a job that looks profitable and one that actually is.
How is a fully loaded labor rate calculated?
Start with base pay, add employer burden (taxes, insurance, benefits), add the carry for vehicles and field equipment, then divide by the hours you actually bill rather than the hours you pay. Verinode does this from your payroll and profit and loss automatically, blends it across your team, and reconciles the result to your real financials so the rate holds up.
Will the number match what my accountant says?
It reconciles to your books. Two operators with identical real profitability can report very different numbers purely from how they bucket costs, so Verinode maps your accounting lines onto one canonical restoration chart of accounts before it builds the rate. When your reported and normalized figures diverge by a meaningful margin, it shows the gap and explains which one to price against.
Is my payroll and financial data safe?
Your raw payroll and financials live in their own encrypted database that only your AI Co-COO can read. The only thing that ever leaves it is anonymized aggregate, and your data is never shared with anyone. The peer benchmarks you see are built from many operators' books and never expose an individual. Policy, architecture, and methodology are all published so the promise is auditable.
