Your job and asbestos removal: How valuable is your job? Is your job comparable to price the risks of a kind of illness caused by asbestos? If you work in high-risk industry causing cancer, your might be put higher investment to your health. Asbestos is only one of illness leading to death, and people are searching how much is the price of asbestos removal.
At worker's side, the asbestos removal is urgent to secure your future and health investment. From the side of business owner, providing asbestos removal is good option to support the workers' loyalty. In the other hand, it is a must to make workers do their tasks in healthy environment.
So, is your job value is equitable with its risks such asbestos related illness? Ron Kurtus describes how to determine value:
Often it is very difficult for a company to determine the value of an employee. Usually, that is determined by supply and demand. They may need a certain type of worker and have to pay dearly, even though the added value to the end product is not that great.
According to Kurtus, the value of a person is perceived and not actual. A person who is friends with the boss is perceived as more valuable to a company than a person who actually does valuable work, but who is not liked.
Consider a person who works in the department store warehouse, putting price labels on clothes items. The person gets paid $6.00/hour, but the company pays $12.00/hour including insurance, benefits, etc. If the worker averages 240 labels an hour, that adds $0.05 to the cost of each item.
This job is important, because they need the price tags on the items, but it does not really increase the value of the product much. Also, since it is unskilled labor, the supply of workers is great. Thus the hourly pay is low.
A computer programmer can count the hours spent on developing a software application and see the savings to the company or how much they make on the product. It is sort of like a return-on-investment for the company.
Your value
In some cases, said Kurtus, we can estimate how many products that we contribute to, what the company charges for them, and how much they pay you for the contribution.
