Advantages
Virtual Assistants work from their own office at affordable rates, providing a multitude of office support services.
Remember that full-time staff is seldom 100% productive due to personal matters, idle time between tasks, equipment down-time, as well as inability of employer to generate work due to everyday distractions, meetings and commitments.
Since Virtual Assistants are paid only for actual time worked, you may decide, as many business owners have, that partnering with a Virtual Assistant is much more cost-effective.
If you are considering hiring a full-time or part-time employee to do your administrative tasks, consider what you will need to provide to an employee compared to a Virtual Assistant.
What Do You Need To Provide?
| Employee | Virtual Assistant |
| Taxes – federal and state employee taxes, unemployment taxes, workers compensation insurance | No Taxes (Virtual Assistants are independent contractors who pay their own taxes) |
| Benefits – Insurance, 401(k), bonuses, training, overtime pay | No Benefits |
| Administrative Costs – recruiting and hiring, training, possible severance pay | No Administrative Costs |
| Payment for Unproductive Time – vacations, holidays, sick days, breaks, down-time | No Unproductive Time (you only pay for actual time worked, which is billed in one-minute increments) |
|
Computer Equipment and Software, Furniture and Office Space |
No investment needed (the Virtual Assistant provides everything necessary) |
| Enough work to keep them busy for the entire time you pay them | The amount of work you need to have handled to allow you to focus on your priorities |
