Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Hiring a virtual assistant presents multiple benefits to business owners.
“Businesses use virtual assistants to fill in gaps. You don’t need a full-time receptionist, office administrator, or personal assistant. Delegating work to VA is more efficient and cost-effective.” – Dave Nevogt, Hubstaff Co-founder and CMO

Paying your team
Making payments to your team is easy. Hubstaff supports payments through PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, BitWage and Gusto. The best method depends on where they live and what kind of payments they accept. It helps to research each payment method to see what works for both you and your virtual assistant. Here are a few sample questions you need to ask before choosing a payment method:
- Does the payment method support transfers from your (origin) country to the recipient’s destination country?
- Does the payment method support ACH or credit card payments?
- What are the fees per transfer (this varies per method)?
