May I ask - do you do your own bookkeeping? If so - could you free up another hour of your time each day by outsourcing this so as to service and extra client each day? This would be a surew way to increase your profitability.
If you also allowed someone else to care for your payroll, do you think this would free not only time, but of hassles of the admin associated with employees?
Subby work may simplify things somewhat. Would you use uninsured people? - Insured contractors are more likely business oriented and may behave more like competition than labor, and there costs may leave little margin with you guaranteeing the quality of their work AND they may not be so available when you need them most - them have work of their own.
Workcove and safety are STILL issues with contracting.
Subby vs employee has been discussed on this forum before and you'll find some good things to consider. I also related my own experiences with employing. I suggest you do a search for this thread.
What I CAN help you with is payroll and free you of concern by guaranteeing compliance regarding all laws and regulations governing it.
