Title: Question:<p>How does your company scale salary&#x2F;benefits for part-time work?<p>Context:<p>We&#x27;re a small startup in the UK trying to figure out our hiring policies. An idea we&#x27;ve tossed around before is that since we offer remote work with fairly flexible hours, there&#x27;s a terrific opportunity to hire people who are taking a career break due to their personal life (young children etc).<p>Our perceived benefit is:<p>* we&#x27;re getting access to a talent pool that might otherwise be ignored<p>* the offerings that are very possible as a small company (remote, flexible hours, easy access to management) are far more impactful to someone in this situation<p>* we have a future opportunity to let our bandwidth grow<p>The cost of two part-time employees isn&#x27;t quite the same as one full-time, since we incur about the same fixed costs anyway (management time in 1-2-1&#x27;s, payroll administration, dev setup etc). So we&#x27;re wondering if cutting the salary in half is actually what we want to do?
