## Post Caption

Labour hire agencies charge you $65/hr for a labourer.

The worker sees $40.

Where does the other $25/hr go?

Not to the bloke carrying steel.
Not to the woman pouring concrete.
Not to anyone on your site.

Let's do the maths no agency wants you to see:

→ $25/hr margin
→ $200/day
→ $1,000/week
→ $50,000/year. Per worker.

That's a ute. That's a deposit. That's your project margin — going to someone who answers a phone and sends an invoice.

Now here's our receipt:

RateRight: **$50. Once. Flat fee.**

The worker sets their own rate. You pay it directly. No margin stacked on top. No ongoing percentage. No weekly invoices full of fat.

$50 total. That's the receipt. 🧾

**Fifty grand a year vs fifty bucks once.**

That's not a pricing difference. That's a broken industry finally getting called out.

## Visual

Attach the dual-receipt graphic (agency receipt vs RateRight receipt side by side).

If no graphic ready: Post as text-only. The numbers speak for themselves.
