Virtual Office Partner, LLC

 

Benefits 

• You don't pay an employee for idle time.

• You don't pay employment taxes, vacation time, sick leave, overtime, health insurance, dental insurance, workers comp, or retirement benefits.

• You don't need extra office furniture, computers, software, printers, office supplies, or telephones.

• You don't have to file payroll tax forms.

• More free time to be more creative and productive.

Because Virtual Assistants are usually more experienced, more efficient, and better connected than the employee, you'll need to devote far less time to the project to get the same results, only 480 hours a year versus 2,080 for the new employee. 

 Below is the estimated cost comparison between administrative assistants and Virtual Office Partner.

When you consider all the expenses that come with hiring a full-time administrative assistant, the costs are similar to a virtual assistant.  A virtual assistant charges for ONLY time he/she is productively working; he/she does not charge for dead time. Nor are you charged for a computer, software, a desk, or a chair. 

A virtual assistant works on an as-needed basis.  You only pay for a VA when you need one.  Unlike a full-time employee, you are paying for an 8-hour workday no matter how much there is to do.  If you require a virtual assistant to work only 4 hours a week, you would save over 50% compared to the cost of a week of full-time assistance! Plus, you don't have the hassle of filing payroll taxes. For more information contact me.

3 Source: "Wasted Time At Work Costing Companies Billions"  The first paragraph states: " According to a new survey by America Online and Salary.com, the average worker admits to frittering away 2.09 hours per 8-hour workday, not including lunch and scheduled break-time."  Total paid breaks last about a half an hour.  Therefore, the total non-productive time is calculated to be 2 hrs (wasted time) + 0.5 hrs (breaks) = 2.5 hrs.  2.5hrs / 8-hour day = 31%
