When you take a few moments and consider what the actual cost of having an employee, you will see that having a VA is the way to go (see chart below).

You only pay for the time on your projects, not chatting with co-workers, bathroom breaks, or personal emails.

You don’t have to worry about taxes, insurance, benefits, etc as the VA takes care of all those costs themselves since they are a contractor.

According to VANetworking.com, a regular employee’s 8-hour day can be reduced to 3-4 hours with a VA.

How much work could you get done if you hired a VA for a full 40 hours a week instead of a regular employee? That’s easy – DOUBLE WHAT YOU’RE GETTING NOW!

VAs are often also more experienced in a variety of areas and have more flexibilities in the job duties you’d like accomplished.

That’s a savings of $62,560! What can you do with that kind of savings?

*Now, you may be asking why there is only 480 hours for the VA listed. Virtual Assistants are generally more experienced and more efficient than employees are; plus, you do not pay for breaks, co-worker chatting, or even bathroom breaks. You can devote far less time to the project to get the same results, only approximately 480 hours a year versus 2,080 for the employee.
