The financial difference is staggering. A full-time receptionist in Los Angeles typically costs $50,000 annually in salary alone. But that's just the beginning.

Additional employee costs include:

• Health insurance: $12,000-$18,000/year
• Payroll taxes and workers' compensation: $4,500-$6,000/year
• Paid time off and holidays: $6,000-$8,000/year
• Training and onboarding: $2,000-$3,000
• Office space and equipment: $3,000-$5,000/year

Total first-year cost: $77,500-$90,000
