Are you bogged down by small tasks that are keeping you from really growing your business? Hiring a Virtual assistant (VA) can help you and your business flourish efficiently and affordably.
A VA can free you up to do the work you love. They can professionally handle administrative tasks, minimize repetitive work, manage social media, make edits to your website, organize you schedule, help manage your email, and much, much more. If you can screencast it, they can do it!
A VA can help you scale your business while shaving off hours from your work week. Hiring a VA from the Philippines is not only cost effective, it also ensures you stay out of trouble with your state’s labor board!
If you are hiring a US based assistant and trying to classify them as an independent contractor you must prove that all three of the following are true:
- The worker is free from control and direction in connection with performing the work.
- The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the company’s business.
- The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established – meaning they do the same work for other companies.
In other words, yes, you can classify a web designer or digital marketing specialist (who has their own entity and also has other clients) as a contractor, but you legally need to pay a U.S. based admin/assistant as an employee! And a $20 an hour admin will end up costing you $30 an hour, given all the requirements: employment tax, social security, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, workman’s comp insurance, paid sick leave, and potentially healthcare coverage (depending on the size of your company).
Why risk it? We can help you find a qualified VA in the Philippines who will work hard for a fraction of a U.S. based employee!
The Philippines regularly ranks high on the Global Competitiveness Index, making it a great option for outsourcing.
Most Filipinos have been bilingual their whole life, English being their second language. There’s an estimated population of 103 million people living in the Philippines, and most of them speak, read, and write English. Also, many have college degrees! We can tell you first-hand, working with VAs in the Philippines for over four years, and having spent time in the Philippines, Filipinos are friendly, hardworking, loyal, reliable, and trustworthy.
