Does a Virtual Assistant cost more than a regular in-house employee or a temp ?
No, it costs far less to work with a Virtual Assistant than a regular employee. When you hire a regular in-house employee you have to pay for a lot of overhead expenses, their salary, on top of that other benefits, taxes, office space, equipment, comply with government regulations and more. With a Virtual Assistant you only pay for the work that they do not on coffee breaks, office space, wasted time on the job or vacations etc… Virtual Assistants cost less than a regular employee. Virtual Assistants offer pay-as-you go plans, hourly plans or retainer plans. The prices of a Virtual Assistant may seem high but they are not, so remember Virtual Assistants are independent business owners and don’t incure the overhead costs of an employee or a temp. When you add it all up hiring a regular employee is double the amount of hiring a Virtual Assistant because of their salary plus other expenses to hire and maintain an in-house employee.
