The cost of labor is the largest variable expense at a co-op, and managing it is key to co-op success. This session is designed to increase your ability to support your general manager and finance manager in the planning and budgeting process.

We’ll cover payroll and benefits costs, full-time vs. part-time positions, and the impact of overtime on the co-op budget. This is a repeat of the session presented in person at the HR Conference on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
