How we calculate this: Lost revenue uses a conservative 2.0x revenue-per-salary multiplier across 250 working days, standard for commercial electrical contractors. Overtime assumes 10 hrs/week at $51/hr (1.5x the $34/hr commercial electrician average per Housecall Pro 2026). Temp labor uses a $17.50/hr staffing markup spread on 50% of vacancies. Recruiter fees apply a 20% placement fee on 30% of hires. These are intentionally conservative estimates. Actual costs are often higher.
