Want to save tons of money in business expenses this year?
Here’s a look at the cost ratio comparing onsite and temporary staffing with the cost of hiring a VA, such as Always Assistant.
| Minimum # Hours/Day | # of Productive Hours/Day | Hourly Rate | Cost |
Onsite Staff (including benefits) | 8 | 6 | $50.00 | $400.00 |
Temporary Staffing (including fees) | 6 | 3 | $50.00 | $300.00 |
Virtual Assistant (no hidden costs) | 3 | 3 | $20.00 | $60.00 |
Full-time staff members are seldom 100% productive due to idle time between tasks, personal matters, and inability of employer to generate work for staff because of distractions, meetings and commitments.
Temporary staff is hired from outside agencies, thus the client neither screens nor interviews selectees. Hirees are referred from a pool and may not meet all the standards described in the initial order. Temps may require training and retraining. Assignments are not permanent. In many instances, a substantial percentage of the salary is retained by the agency and not the staffer.
VAs are independent business owners paid only for time worked. If a task requires 2 hours to complete, the client only pays for 2 hours, not a whole day. No overhead, no benefits, no agency fees, little or no training, no time wasted, etc. VAs are well-trained and experienced administrative/executive assistants who own their own businesses.
We solve the problems of: sleeping on the job, wasting time, providing quality service, and being technology savvy and honest, just to name a few. Why? Because VAs run their own businesses, use the newest internet-based and office technologies, and the clients’ continued prosperity and satisfaction keep VAs in business.
There are various types of arrangements that can be developed between a client and VA. They include:
Each choice can be designed to meet the clients’ financial and fulfillment requirements. Choosing to work with a VA may be one of the wisest financial decisions an entrepreneur has available. Even when workloads fluctuate, clients can depend on the stability of having a relationship with a VA.
