Employee Cost verses VA

Here is why hiring a virtual assistant might be a better fit than employing someone directly:

  1. Cost-Effective: PVA Virtual assistants are paid only for the hours or tasks completed. Since they’re self-employed, you avoid expenses like National Insurance, pensions, or paid leave.
  2. Adaptability: VAs offer flexibility; you can scale their work up or down depending on your needs without committing to full-time hours.
  3. Remote Work Advantage: Working remotely eliminates the need for physical office space, saving you money on desks, equipment, and utilities.
  4. Expertise: Many virtual assistants specialise in certain tasks, bringing skills that might not be cost-effective to have in-house permanently.
  5. Reduced Administrative Burden: There’s less paperwork and fewer legal obligations compared to hiring an employee. This makes the hiring process quicker and easier.
  6. Staff Leaving/Redundancy: If you find an employee does not fit with your working style or personality, or you need to make them redundant, you will probably spend a lot of time and money on their exit/replacement. With a Virtual Assistant from PVAs, you only need to contact us and we will replace or remove your VA immediately at no further cost to you.
