Hey guys.

I’m a D41 contractor (Decking/Siding). I’m trying to bring my crew members on my team as W2 employees and working through the payroll setup phase. I’m going with Paychex and I have been feeling nickel and dimed like crazy with them. I just got a quote for a WC policy through them for 23k+ annually based on projected payroll figures for the year. Does this seem astronomical to anyone, or is it more of a case of “welcome to the big leagues” kind of deal. Like, is this just the cost of doing legitimate business in California?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
