The Different Types of Hires

Virtual Assistant, Contracted, Direct Hire

 

 

 

Virtual Assistant

 

Virtual Assistants are just like contracted workers, your company pays Silicon Staffing a service fee for a virtual assistant who will work for you but remain on our payroll. The difference between a Virtual Assistant and a contracted agreement is that, Virtual Assistants are hired in 4 hour blocks.

 

Meaning that your company purchased a 4 hour block of time from a virtual assistant of your choice. There is no liabilities or commitments beyond the 4 hours, if thats all the time it took to complete your work then great, we are happy that you were able to complete your task, there is no obligation beyond those 4 hours which you reserved.

 

 

Contracted

 

Contracted workers remain on Silicon Staffing's payroll but they are contracted for a specific amount of time which it would complete a project or up to a 1 year, full-time or part-time contracts. The annual salary of these type of employees is paid at the time of the employee is contracted to Silicon Staffing. They can work onsite or virtually and this is the most recommended type of hire. The tax liability, risk liability, health insurance costs and turnover costs are minimized.

 

 

Direct Hire

 

Direct Hires are like traditional hires, except that we do all the work in finding, screening, interviewing, verifying and OnBoarding your new employee. They will be on your payroll and are your tax liability. They can work onsite or virtual, but in most cases, it is not recommended in todays employment climate as the tax burden, health insurance, along with additional HR risks are just not worth it. A contracted hire is your employee, taking part in your companies culture and success, the only difference is the logo on the pay stub!
