How We Do It

August 2, 1999:

Virtual Assistants gives entrepreneurs real help. Bob Farrar, an attorney in Rome, Ga., appreciates how his VA's feel about their business and what they contribute.

"They're genuinely interested in how you're doing. They're not showing up 9 to 5 to get a paycheck," he says. "These are people who are bringing fresh ideas they're learning from people in other states. For someone in a town like Rome, it's an incredible resource."

Rates

As an Independent Contractor, e-Roselle does not require that you withhold taxes or pay many of the costs associated with hiring an employee. We will bill you on a pre-determined basis, and the fee you pay is deductible as a marketing business expense.

We only bill for the actual time on a project. You are not paying for lunch/coffee breaks, personal phone call time, sick days, etc. Clients NEVER pay for a "learning curve" unless proprietary knowledge is needed for the project. Your bill will reflect 100% productive time!

We offer two types of payments, 'Pay-As-You-Go' or 'Retainer Service Plans'

	Pay-As-You-Go: use as much or as little as you need with no minimum number of hours. Standard rates for Realtor Support vary depending on the project and billed in 15 minute increments. Invoices and timesheets will be faxed and emailed on the 1st of each month.
	Monthly Retainer Service: as a retainer client you are entitled to all of the services provided by e-Roselle at a minimum of 5 hours per month and at a discounted rate. Retainer clients are billed each month and advance payment is due in full the 1st of each month, before work commences. Unused hours up to 5 hours can carry over to the next month.

At first glance this may appear to be a high rate, but let's look at the "real cost" of employees: the US Bureau of Labor Statistics show that employees actually cost 2 to 2 1/2 times their rate of pay after you factor in the insurance and benefit costs.
