LOL - Yes. Poor wording on my part (as in reversed meaning).

My employer charges our clients almost $100/hr more than what I get paid.

If he works in a normal hospital, office, etc., the entity that pays him bills 2.5-3X what he sees in his paycheck (before deductions). And it's heated, lighted, etc.
