Benefits of Working With a VA

Benefits Of Working With A Virtual Assistant

Working with a VA (Virtual Assistant) saves our clients time, money and anxiety by “partnering” with them to act as an extension of their own business and provide customized solutions for their administrative support needs. Our clients receive services on an “as needed” basis with none of the costs or obligations that are associated with having on-site employees.

(Note: The real cost of an employee is 2 to 2 ½ times their salary.)

For example:

	With a VA you pay only for "Time on Task" or by project.
	There is no need to buy additional computer equipment, fax machines, extra desks, chairs, phones or supplies.
	There is no extra office space required. No extra rent and/or loss of privacy.
	There is no computer training needed.
	A VA is convenient when your current staff gets overloaded.
	There is no time wasted on breaks or personal issues.
	A VA works only when you need services.
	There is no need to pay employer social security taxes.
	There is no need to collect and pay FICA taxes.
	There is no need to pay worker’s compensation insurance.
	There is no need to pay federal and state unemployment taxes.
	No need to comply with OSHA.
	No need to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FFLSA) including minimum wage and overtime payment.
	No need to comply with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
	No need to pay medical benefits, dental benefits, vision care benefits or other employee benefits such as 401K, retirement plans, etc.
	No need to pay someone to administer the above.
	You will not have the legal responsibilities that include employee policies on working hours, sexual harassment, vacation time, sick time, leave of absence, holidays, benefits, performance reviews, grievances, terminations, substance abuse and training.
	If you hire an employee and lay them off, your unemployment rate may increase for years to come, but if you work with a VA, this is no longer an issue.
