It is assumed that the Department of State Health Services would hire one new FTE to investigate complaints of retail firms. The FTE would be hired December 1, 2005, so salary, benefits, travel, and certain administrative costs would be for only nine months of fiscal year 2006. Salary is assumed to be $24,741 in the first year, and $32,988 in each subsequent year. Benefits are assumed at 29.74 percent of salary. Administrative costs are assumed to be $11,408 in the first year and $5,786 in subsequent years.
In-state travel costs are assumed to be $12,334 in the first year and $16,445 in each subsequent year.
