Hiring a Virtual Assistant provides the accurate, timely services of an administrative assistant without the major costs of having an employee. Whether you need a regular assistant to help you keep up with administrative activities or only need occasional help with projects, a Virtual Assistant can be a cost-effective solution.
Here are two key considerations:
1. With a Virtual Assistant, you only pay for productive time. The bill you receive reflects time spent completing work for you.
When you hire an administrative assistant, you will often pay for nonproductive time, such as training, absences/sick time, breaks and more.
2. With a Virtual Assistant, you don’t have to pay for any overhead — office space, equipment and taxes are the responsibility of the VA.
With an employee, you take on many financial responsibilities, including their salary, payroll taxes and sometimes benefits such as paid vacation and insurance.
