Yes, the price per month went up by $6, not per employee. There are plenty of reasons for price increases as you know from running a business, it is not just staff wages or profit at the end. The price per employee stayed the same so yes it is an increase but very small in the bigger picture of payroll costs.
I'd count it as a blessing if all I was seeing in my expenses was a $6 a month increase. raw materials are up from 18% to 169%, and shipping is up 380% on the last container for my last orders.
