The Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Did you know that hiring a Virtual Assistant is a very savvy business decision? If you have, or have had employees you already know that the actual cost of an employee is roughly 2 to 2 ½ times their actual salary. It should be no real surprise to you that an assistant that is earning $12 per hour will actually cost you $27.60 per hour.
The cost of benefits for this employee (health insurance, life insurance, 401K, etc.) is a large chunk, approximately 35-40% of the hourly wage.
Then you factor in your overhead which will cost your business approximately an additional 50-60% of the employee's wage.
Let us not ignore the "inefficiency factor." This is time the employee spends visiting with other employees, surfing the internet, breaks, personal phone calls, etc.
All of this brings the toll of that $12 per hour employee to more than double the wage paid to the employee. When you multiply the hourly rate by the standard number of hours in a work year, the grand total for the new employee comes to a eye popping $57,408!
Your Virtual Assistant is a contract employee meaning that you pay the agreed upon fee and we are responsible for our own taxes, office equipment and supplies. With a virtual assistant you will never have to pay for the following
• Employee Benefits Premiums
• Vacation, Sick or Holiday Time
• Taxes: Payroll, Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment
• Worker's Comp
Additionally, you do not have to concern yourself with additional office space or equipment, training expenses, or agency fees. You will never have to pay for downtime, lunch breaks or personal issues.
Since your are paying your professional Virtual Assistant only for the time that you have contracted for, you will actually save more than $20,000 (for a $12 per hour employee) by employing a Virtual Assistant.
