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)
200 employees x
$5.00 per employee (for profit dues rate) = $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.)
 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 on previous side).
 Publications -
If you added up all of the
market values for each free member publication you receive as part
of your membership, the cost exceeds $2,900.
 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.
 Online Training
-
In addition to the free
publications, 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, 5 supervisors taking the courses, you have now
received a $1,000 value.
 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 $300/hr. (avg. labor attorney rate), you have an additional
savings of $300.
Based on the sample dues
calculation above, this member investment of $1,000 is worth the
following return on investment (at a minimum):

*NOTE*
The above example is based on
calculation of the
FREE
member services. If
you take advantage of EAF’s seminars, in-house training, onsite
consulting or insurance programs, you are realizing tremendous
additional returns. If you need any assistance in calculating your
actual ROI, please feel free to contact an EAF staff member at
