Jason is considering two different jobs that he has been offered and he likes the atmosphere and other employees equally at both companies. With the first job he would be an apartment property manager for AMLI Company. This job is offering Jason an hourly rate of $19.00 an hour plus a weekly bonus of $40 for each new tenant he sets a one year lease up with. The company expects Jason to work all 52 weeks of the year and 40 hours per week. He was told he could expect to set up an average of 5 lease agreements for each week that he works. AMLI’s individual health insurance costs $115 per month.

With the second job he would work as water treatment facility manager in Gwinnett County. He would be paid an annual salary of $46,000 a year. There aren’t any bonuses but the county’s health insurance is only $25 per month for an individual and he gets a week off.

Both companies deduct for Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.2%), State Income Tax (3%), and Federal Income Tax (14%).
