Virtual assistance vs. Full-time office support

If you think you can't afford a virtual assistant, consider the costs of hiring an employee. The cost of a full-time employee may be more expensive than you think. Let's take a look!

A full time professional & business services employee hired at $27.53 per hour will incur a total compensation* of $38.53 per hour. This $11.00 difference includes leave (sick, vacation, holidays), supplemental pay (bonus, overtime), insurance (medical/dental), retirement & savings, payroll taxes (social security, federal, state) and workers compensation. Hiring a VA eliminates these expenses and provides flexibility because you can hire as needed!

With technology (telephone, computer, internet), a virtual assistant can provide administrative support remotely and effectively
