What are the costs of employing staff versus using a virtual assistant?
Staff simply cannot work non-stop from the moment they enter the
workplace until they leave (they are only human after all).
Assuming a fairly conservative list of distractions and life’s
day-to-day aggravations employers could lose an average:
-
124 productive working hours per year
-
OR 2½ hours per week!
On top of that if you factor in employers' NI contributions (which
currently stand at 12.8% in addition to the employees salary)
it becomes apparent that staff are an incredibly expensive commodity
that many businesses simply cannot afford.
There are also office space and equipment costs to include in
the overall expense of employing just one member of staff. For
those who don’t currently employ anyone there are other
factors to consider such as employers liability insurance, supervision
costs and whether you have the time, motivation or skills to get
involved in processing payroll!
So what is the real cost of employing staff?
