There
are many benefits to hiring a virtual assistant, some which include:
*No
need to hire
full time employees
*No need to
acquire office space, equipment or supplies
*No
overhead costs
*No
overtime or downtime
*No
training costs
*No hiring
expenses such as advertising and interviewing
*No
need to pay for
vacation time or sick days
*No need to pay for employee benefits such as workers compensation
or health benefits.
*Get
access to a network of trained Virtual Assistants in a variety of
skills. As an
independent contractor we pay for our own taxes
and business expenses.
We
can work on an hourly basis or on a retainer basis. There is
an advantage to the retainer method. After the first hour of
setup, each additional hour of your package is at a discounted rate
over the hourly rate.
We
charge $35 for the first hour for setup. Each additional hour is $30
an hour. If you purchase a package, no separate setup fee
charged.
On a retainer program you will pay less:
5 Hours a month-$145.00
10 Hours
a month-$280.00 20 Hours
a month-$540.00
40 Hours
a month-$100.00
*
Use
your prepaid hours in a calendar month. Start with the
package you
think
you will need. If that is not enough, you can add to it in
5-hour
increments.
* Retainers are paid in full in advance.
* For a per-hour arrangement, we require a deposit
of
$100. When that time is used up you should be able
to
determine your ongoing needs and select a retainer package or
additional hours.
* We will notify you when you are getting close to using up
your prepaid hours. * Time is charged in
15 minute
increments.
We
require a 24-hour notice on new assignments to be used against the
retainer. We will work together to determine a reasonable completion
schedule.
