Employee vs. Virtual Assistant (VA) Cost Comparison
When considering business support, it’s important to evaluate the financial impact of your decision. Take a look at the cost comparison between hiring a full-time employee and partnering with a Virtual Assistant (VA) from Ladyko Professional Outsourcing.
**A Virtual Assistant (VA) is far more productive than a conventional full-time worker – often providing the same amount of support in less than half the amount of hours.
♦ Approximate hourly rate. Rates will vary depending on a variety of factors.
“The real cost of an employee is two to two and a half times their salary! By partnering with a VA you are not responsible for: payroll tax, workers’ compensation, superannuation, sick and holiday leave, training, equipment and office space nor the cost of hiring someone to administer these things!”
“As the VA works in a home-based office, precious time (and consequently your money) is not wasted on office politics, socialising around the water cooler, mandatory breaks, and personal issues.”
“You pay only for the time on task – the VA works only when you require so you are not paying for idle staff to gossip, play games or browse the internet.”3
