How to read it
Use labor cost as a control line, not a blunt cut.
Compare the same definitions and period before changing a schedule. The result does not replace payroll, tax, employment, or professional financial advice.
Load the real wage
Include the payroll burden you use for planning so the hourly cost is comparable with the sales period.
Compare dollars and hours
Review both the target payroll dollars and the hours implied by the loaded wage.
Choose one driver
Test sales, deployment of hours, wage mix, or the target definition one at a time before changing the schedule.
