I'm trying to think of what those might be. Assuming you already have employees and a payroll system, I think maybe only worker's comp insurance would be considered a fixed cost. Maybe the cost of a notebook computer or other device, if required. Employees who are less than half time usually don't have to be offered retirement plan options or mandated sick leave/vacation (although here in California, it might apply at all levels, I haven't checked).

Maybe the cost of a notebook computer or other device, if required. And business cards, if anyone still uses those. What else?

edit: possibly some training costs, depending a lot on the type of job and the previous experience of the worker

Also it’s just work to hire, manage, administer another enployee. Fiddling around in Justworks one extra time per month. Creating an email address. Etc.
