What time will a virtual assistant be working?
The Virtual Assistant’s working hours sync up with your schedule for seamless
communication, making it easy to chat through text, voice, or video whenever you need.
Work hand-in-hand with your remote employee, just like you would with your on-site
staff.
What language do the virtual assistants use? (do they speak english?)
We maintain a straightforward approach by conducting all communications
exclusively in English. Our Virtual Assistants undergo a meticulous interview process
that includes assessments of both verbal and written English proficiency. Only those
who meet our language standards proceed to become part of our team.
How does billing work?
We send out invoices every biweekly, monthly, or quarterly, depending on your
preference. Each invoice comes with a detailed timesheet, providing a clear breakdown
of billable hours. It’s our way of ensuring transparency and facilitating a smooth financial
process.
What are the minimum billable hours?
● The minimum billable hours for a part-time employee is 20 hours per week.
● The minimum billable hours for a full-time employee is 40 hours per week.
Do you have contracts?
Our contractual arrangements adhere to U.S. business laws, ensuring their
enforceability in U.S. courts. This commitment guarantees the protection of you, your
projects, and your data at all times, providing a secure foundation for our collaboration.
How do you select and hire professionals during the recruiting process?
We carefully assess whether candidates are a good fit for the team and client. They
go through a series of evaluations, including technical assessments relevant to their
expertise, an initial and final HR interview, and an English communication evaluation.
Our standards are high, and we ensure we bring on board individuals who align well
with our values and meet the needs of our clients.
Can I interview the VA candidates before I hire them?
Absolutely! We advocate for conducting interviews prior to onboarding a new virtual
employee. We’ll provide resumes for shortlisted candidates, allowing you to assess their
experience and skill levels. Our Client Success Manager will arrange the interview with
the candidates at your convenience.
How long does the hiring process take?
The comprehensive assessment and selection process for your perfect fit typically
takes two weeks or less. Our commitment is to find the best fit for each client. We
prioritize long-term success in our partnership and believe that a swift match for the
right reasons is essential for our mutual benefit.
What are the methods of payment?
We send an e-invoice every billing cycle through Stripe. Payment options include
e-check, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal.
Can I keep track of the hours my VA is working?
Yes! You can use your existing project management platform to record their task time
efficiently, or reach out to your Client Success Manager from Sudden Success to
prepare a comprehensive time report for any specified period at your convenience.
How is overtime, weekend, or holiday work managed in Sudden Success?
At Sudden Success, we bill by the hour. Any additional work conducted after regular
business hours will be invoiced at your standard hourly rate. Your rate stays the same
for overtime, weekend, or holiday work, so you don’t need to worry about incentives or
overtime pay unless it’s something you personally want to do.
How can I raise concerns or disputes regarding the time reflected in my invoice?
If you believe there are unfair charges, please reach out to your assigned Client
Success Manager. We’ll conduct an investigation and keep you informed at every stage
until the issue is resolved. The invoice will be adjusted to include any necessary
compensations or adjustments.
Who should I contact with questions about my invoices or billing?
Feel free to reach out to your Client Success Manager for any questions or concerns
regarding your invoices or our billing procedures. They’re more than happy to help!
Can I give my VA a bonus?
Absolutely! Clients are encouraged to provide bonuses or incentives as a means of
recognizing outstanding performance and reinforcing their company culture within the
team. Your dedicated Client Success Manager is available to coordinate any bonuses or
awards you wish to extend. Any bonuses you agree to award your remote employees
will be included on your upcoming invoice.
Can I integrate and use my preferred applications and software with your system?
You are welcome to choose and implement any application or software that aligns
with your preferences. This provides you with the flexibility to grant your team access
and guide them on how to use it. We have experience with various platforms and are
more than happy to offer advice on tools or assist in setting up systems based on our
experience with clients.
What systems are in place to track and validate the working hours and productivity of my remote employees?
The primary objective of your Client Success Manager is to maintain accountability
among your remote employees, ensuring effective communication, and validating the
accuracy of logged hours. They diligently monitor your employees’ working time, tasks,
and overall productivity daily.
Is direct communication with my remote employees allowed?
Absolutely! We believe that open communication is key to a successful collaboration.
You can directly connect with your remote employees using your preferred
communication channel or platform. We kindly request that your Client Success
Manager be included in all correspondence to ensure proactive support.
What should I do if I am unsatisfied with the VA staffing services or the performance of my virtual assistant?
Contact your Client Success Manager for any concerns about your virtual assistant’s
work or performance. They are ready to assist, train, and coach your remote employees
to promptly address any issues. We’ll stay in close communication with you throughout
the resolution process. If a team member consistently falls short of your expectations,
we may suggest and start looking for the perfect replacement.
What if my Virtual Assistant doesn't meet my expectations?
We get that things might not always go as planned, so don’t hesitate to your Client
Success Manager if a current employee doesn’t meet your expectations. We’ll promptly
initiate the search for a replacement and actively participate to facilitate a smooth
transition as we continue working with you.
