I know someone whose department is being outsourced, and they'll all
being picked up by the outsourcing supplier at their same salaries and
benefits. Given that the outsourcing firm is charging a 25% overhead on
the total cost of salaries and benefits, even assuming the employer
doesn't have to pay payroll taxes its still costing the employer more.
Payroll taxes don't cost 25% of an employee's salary.
