A Virtual Assistant's Most Frequently Asked Questions
A. Hiring a virtual assistant instead of a traditional employee gives you more flexibility because you're only paying them for the time worked. So if business is slow, you don't have to use the service and when it picks back up, you simply contact them with your projects. You're also saving on employee taxes, payroll expenses, office space, equipment and other costs associated with a traditional employee.
Q. Why are the rates for a virtual assistant so high?
A. The rates for a virtual assistant are typically higher than that of a traditional employee because you have to factor in the points that the virtual assistant is working from their own office location, paying their own taxes and using their equipment. It may seem like a lot but you're actually saving money. This rate calculator makes it a bit more clear.
