Faqs

We do not directly offer training to the virtual employees for your purpose. However, it is essential to note that all the VEs finalized by us for you already carry the required eligibility and experience in the roles you need them to fulfill for your purpose. But since every business owner has a different perspective and process for a particular thing, you may have to invest some time and resources to make them familiar with your work culture, especially on any role or performance you want to be fulfilled for your business. Once it becomes understandable to them and they get familiar with how things are supposed to be done, it will be a cakewalk for them too!

No, you do not help you to pay your virtual employee. The candidate you select as a VE using a service is your direct employee. Since they do not work for us, we don’t contribute to compensating or VE in any manner. It’s entirely on your part and between the two of you – how much and when the payment has to be made.

This is a significantly less possibility of this happening often. However, your India-based virtual employee selected through the Virtual Global Staff service will be available at your service. The candidate will be fluent in English with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. Moreover, they will have skills and experience in their respective domain for you as well. Therefore, except for certain situations when your virtual assistant may need more clarity on certain things, the virtual employee suggested above can assist.

This should not certainly happen regularly. However, suppose you do not like to select your VE from the initial best of final candidates we shortlist for you. In that case, we will provide you a guaranteed 10 day trial with another three candidates. It will be completely free of cost. Moreover, suppose you are still not satisfied with the candidates or cannot decide on hiring even from the second batch of candidates. In that case, you will need to sign up for the service again so that we can continue to look for a suitable candidate for you.

If you do not wish to continue with the employee you select for some reason, we can shortlist and choose another three candidates for you within 10 days of hiring the previous one. Further, we can also arrange a few meetings so that you can select another suitable candidate utterly free of cost. However, if you make this decision after the 10 days of hiring the previous candidate, you will have to sign up for the service again if you want to use our service to find another virtual staff member. Kindly note that we do not offer a money-back guarantee in any circumstances.

Since we are on a mission to provide you with a virtual employee who can establish a long-lasting working relationship with you, we would like to suggest you not go for an hourly rate. It is always a better option to offer a monthly fixed rate depending upon the job profile’s skills, tasks, and experience.

We do not have bilingual virtual employees at the moment.

We provide the same, but most candidates usually go for full-time and long-term job roles. However, you can also offer a full-time job position to a virtual employee shortly, but please note that it is specified in your job description.

No, we do not offer discounts for hiring multiple virtual employees. Though we provide discounted rates for our returning clients depending upon the requirements. Please understand that the process of hiring a virtual employee is not easy as it seems. A lot more goes into the process, such as searching for candidates, looking for job boards, freelancing websites, other job portals, shortlisting applicants’ profiles, conducting interviews, working on differences, etc.

You can use various platforms to pay your virtual employee. The most popular and frequently used is PayPal. Home-based general virtual assistants usually accept $250-$300 per month for part-time work, which goes to $500-$600 per month for a full-time job role. For more information on this, you can go through our free salary guide available at the end of this page.

As per our model, you do not pay directly to your virtual employee but you make payment to us following the prepay system. This allows us to take care of the administrative and overhead charges along with the salary of the virtual employees. This includes offering your virtual employee a workspace, transport, internet, etc. to scale up his/ her work efficacy.

You can provide the same as it is at your option. However, we strongly suggest you discuss the same with your virtual employee, preferably after a trusted duration. The cost of health insurance varies, but you can always discuss the same with your VE and research on any possible options if available.

A general virtual employee is usually responsible for administrative tasks. To have a better insight into the job roles and responsibilities of a VE from VGS, you can go through the details here.

We do not have any particular structure for holiday policies. It entirely depends on your agreement with your virtual employee as to which days will be off. You can agree on whether your VE is comfortable with the Indian holidays or your preferred ones. Please note that in India, employees are paid double when they are required to work on public holidays. For this reference, you can take a look at the list here.
