In the local <br />private sector, non-mandated fringe costs are between 15-25% of payroll, according to Jeff Miller of Pacific <br />Benefit Consultant Inc. The City of Eugene's non-mandated fringe costs are about 50% of payroll, with PERS <br />representing the biggest component at 36%. <br />7 <br />
