subject: Virtual Assistants Filling In The Gaps In Businesses [print this page] Virtual assistants are workers that can fill the gaps in business. If there is anything in the business process that needs to be done and you do not have the skills or the personnel to deal with these tasks, hiring a virtual assistant is the best option available for you.
Virtual assistants charge you for the number of hours they serve or work for your company. When they work on your project that means they will only start charging you when they begin work for that specific project. Coffee breaks, internet breaks, vacation leaves and other hours that are not spent on the project are not charged to the company.
In the workplace, a worker might be sitting at his desk but may be doing something completely unrelated to the company. This is not good for business.
Now with a virtual assistant, any time you need to have someone do a task, you can have the virtual assistant do it. Even if the job will only take a few hours each week, you can still depend on a virtual assistant to do the tasks. If you don't need the services of the VA for the moment, then you can let them go for a while and simply rehire them should there be more work.
If you are a business with limited capital but need to get so many things done, hiring a virtual assistant is also the best option for you. Save on social security, taxes, health insurance, paid vacation, 401 (k), bonuses and all the other benefits you would have to pay a regular employee. The virtual assistant can definitely save you money, something that can really make a huge difference in your business.
The fee of the virtual assistant will depend on the tasks that you will assign to your virtual assistant. Some tasks require higher rates because of the difficulty of the job. The rates also depend on the country where the VA is from.
Some virtual assistants only charge a low $10 per hour. This may seem like an oppressive rate but in some countries, earning $10 per hour can already mean so much to the worker.
Hiring virtual assistants can only mean a win-win situation for everyone. Companies gain benefits from virtual assistants and virtual assistants can gain benefits from working as virtual assistant. So instead of pushing yourself to do the difficult tasks and not gain progress, hire a virtual assistant.
