XAS BENEFITS TO CLIENTS AND RATES

Virtual Administrators/Executive Administrators generally charge by the hour, at rates ranging from $25-$100, depending upon the expertise required. At first glance this may appear to be a high rate, but let's look at the "real cost" of employees:

Statistics show that employees actually cost 2 to 2 1/2 times their rate of pay when one factors in cost of:

Recruitment
Base salary
Employment taxes
Mandatory insurance
Benefits
Space
Equipment

And don't forget the variables that are more difficult to price:

Time lost on socializing
The risk of lawsuits
Personality conflicts

There is also the expense of hiring the employee in the first place:

Advertising
Screening resumes
Interviewing
Re-interviewing
Paying two people for the training period

If you face the unpleasant experience of having to fire an employee, you have to go through the process all over again. You're sure to pay considerably less for a Virtual Administrator/Executive Administrator. You could hire a one for as little as one hour a week. Could you hire an employee for that? Contracting out is a cost effective way to handle those office administrative tasks and special projects. XAS commits to a specific amount of hours per week for each client based on their bottom line budget for the week.
