## Primary Post (Thread Starter)

Labour hire agencies bill $65/hr for your worker.

The worker gets $40.

That missing $25/hr?

→ $200/day
→ $1,000/week
→ $50,000/year

For answering a phone and sending an invoice.

RateRight: $50 flat fee. Once. Workers keep 100%.

That's the receipt. 🧾

The average agency makes $50k/year per worker just on margin.

Scale that to 10 workers and that's half a million dollars a year.

Going to someone who's never set foot on a site.

The construction industry doesn't have a hiring problem. It has a middle-man problem.

We built RateRight because we spent 30+ years in construction watching this happen.

$50 flat fee. Contractor pays it. Workers keep 100%.

No percentage. No subscription. No margin stacked on your rate.

## Quote Tweet Version (use when relevant labour hire discourse appears)

This is why ↓

Agency charges contractor $65/hr.
Worker gets $40/hr.
$25/hr vanishes.

= $50,000/year. Per worker.

"Labour hire" is just a fancy word for margin.
