Where the Q3 2026 figure comes from
“So all those factors kind of contribute, but a lot of that increase the per employee cost is really coming from the fringe benefits. And that was something that we talked about at the end of the second quarter call that we anticipated that would be further pressure on our cost in the third quarter. And they were. They came in actually a little bit higher than what I had originally anticipated. So, we generally talk about that fringe benefit as a percent of our salaries and wages. And that came in, in the third quarter at 42.8%. 0.2539.7%. So that is about a full operating point headwind just based on those costs.”
