In todays world, what is a fair rate for a personal assistant?

What is a fair price for a car?

MaDalton · 07-15-2009, 02:25 PM

$1 per month when you're in Somalia

GetSCORECash · 07-15-2009, 02:27 PM

Depends on the amount of work! $12 an hour sounds just about right.

Juicy D. Links · 07-15-2009, 02:30 PM

For a virtual private assistant for grunt work, no more than $5 per hour. IMHO. for a person in your office, at least $12 per hr

Salaried is easier.

Depends on where you are, and if its Virtual or if they are in your office.

I worked for an employment agency for 4 years as a recruiter here in Manhattan Beach, so wages are going to be a bit higher here and around LA than a lot of the country, but for comparison's sake: a personal assistant can make up to $50K a year depending on number and level of responsibilities - are they doing personal and professional tasks like errands for you? Are they on call, doing work after normal business hours in addition to regular full time work? If they are just doing office work, light typing, phones, etc. then $10-15 is totally fair. If they are doing budgets, extensive travel reservations and calendaring, writing reports and spreadsheets, dealing with high level clients, etc. at the level that you feel comfortable letting them handle important tasks without supervision, then $17-20+/hr is more appropriate. More than that you are looking at an executive assistant who essentially can fill in for you when you are not around.

Hope that helps...

What is a fair length for a piece of string?

RichCashOmar · 07-16-2009, 06:23 PM

12-15 n hour or so

F-U-Jimmy · 07-16-2009, 06:55 PM

An hour

Kiwigirl · 07-16-2009, 10:23 PM

Are they to be employed by you with benefits or working as an IC?
Employed with benefits I would say $12-$15.
Independent Contractor I would say $16-$20.
Also depends on the extent of work though I guess. If they are simply answering emails, fetching you coffee, making copies of documents well then they get paid less.
If they are being given control to coordinate international travel, make executive decisions and you trust them enough to give them all your personal credit card info....then you might want to make sure they are taken care of. LOL

11 if they avg most should be 15 hour and that would be someone with skills in more than answering phones and reading emails

times changed almost 10% unemployment rate, supply and demand man, find someone quality start em off low and if they good raise as needed if they shit fire

I have tried this many different ways over the years. Hourly, salary, by the task.....

What works best for me is starting them at the very bottom. As most around here (SW Michigan) do not come in with many online industry skills. So they get 10-20 hours to start, and minimum wage.

I then bump up their pay, and hours, as they learn new skill sets. So once they can function with some of the daily tasks, doing them right, without me standing over them. Pay raise. Once they can do the next set of tasks without fuck ups, or supervision, pay raise. As they get more skills, they get more hours.

I have found that people need their 'rewards' for good work. Starting them at the top makes them lazy, and they are not getting the praise their little egos desire.

Where as I do it this way, and I have had better and more productive assistants since starting this in the past year. They are more hungry to learn more. More conscious of their mistakes, and quality of work. Just an all around better experience.

They are capped at $15.00 an hour. But get bonuses over the year.
