The benefits and value of your
EAF membership far exceed the cost of the annual dues.
See the
example below to see the tremendous return on your
investment!
Calculating Your Dues and Your Return on
Investment
Dues Calculation (Sample only)
For Profit Dues Rate: 200 employees x
$5.00 per employee = $1,000/annual EAF
membership dues.
(Dues are calculated by multiplying the
average number of employees on your payroll (Florida only) by $5.00
per employee - minimum investment is $550/yr. and the maximum is
capped at $3,000/yr.
Non-Profit Dues
are calculated by multiplying the average number of employees on
your payroll (Florida only) by $2.50 per employee - minimum
investment is $375/yr. and the maximum is capped at $1,500/yr.
Return on Investment (ROI) Calculation
To help you evaluate and justify the dues
investment, we have included the “fair market value” for each FREE EAF Member publication &
service (see list above).
Publications -
Members receive over 20 publications
(surveys, compliance guides, and newsletters as part of their
membership. A $2,900 value.
CCH HRAnswersNow Online Subscription -
Includes unlimited online
access to HR resources 24/7, news/trends, state and federal laws &
regulations, and job descriptions & performance evaluations writing
tools. If you were to purchase this service on your own, the
cost would be over $1000.
Online Training
-
The free online training can be calculated by taking
the 10 courses multiplied by $20/per course (conservative market
cost), which equals $200, and then multiply that by the number of
supervisors or employees you feel would be appropriate to take the
courses. EAF feels strongly that ALL supervisors should take the
courses, but they are free and unlimited for ALL employees. If you
have, for example, just 5 supervisors taking the courses, you have now
received a $2,500 value.
 Safety
Video Lending Library
provides EAF members free access to over 10,000 safety & health
videos/DVDs with no library membership fee and no rental fees.
If you borrow only one video per month, the value would be $1,200
(Annual library membership $660/yr., $45 per rental fee x 12).
.
Briefings & Webinars - over 20 free
programs are offered each year on timely HR issues. If only one
member employee took advantage of half of the programs, the value
would be $1,500 (10 x $150/each).
Hotlines -
One of the main services
members enjoy free is the unlimited access to our HR, Legal, Cyber
Security and Safety hotlines. Most of our members average at least
one call a month and the average research time is 1 hour. If you
multiply 11 hours of research time by $75/hr. (avg. paralegal rate),
you have saved an additional $825. If you count just one of the
twelve hours as legal hotline time (average) and multiply that hour
by $350/hr. (avg. labor attorney rate), you have received an additional
savings of $350.
Based on the sample dues
calculation above, this member investment of $1,000 is worth the
following return on investment (at a minimum):

calculation of the
