How do I know what wage to designate?

Expand Icon

Your experience is valuable and organizations will benefit from not having to pay benefits. Additionally, initial feedback has shown clients are less likely to work with consultants who have rates under $100/hour. If you are still unsure what hourly rate is appropriate, we suggest using a multiplier of 1.5 - 2x your most recent hourly wage.

What is Reterns definition of "retiree/ retirement?"

Reterns believes "retirement" is an outdated term. As such, we define a "retiree" as any human who: was working, is working, or considering working. We define "retirement" as a temporary career gap of any duration.
