Hiring a global VA or a local one?

Getting a Virtual Assistant to help with your business is the most natural thing in the world.  Whether your VA is local or a Global VA working at the other end of the world you will need to set things up properly so you get value for the money you pay and secure your business.

One of the greatest things about the internet is that you can work across borders and boundaries without even leaving your home – and so can your VA.  You can both work wherever you can find wifi or internet access.  Even if it is only for holidays.  We are all global now.  It sounds great – and it can be.

Have you ever thought about what you might need to protect your business in a world where different laws apply depending on where you are working?  What happens when are covered by EU GDPR even though you are not in the EU?  With you, your clients, and your VA moving around the world, you need to take a global approach.

We have seen a lot of out of date VA contracts that ignore the massive implications of data protection.  It is not just the EU who want you to secure and lock down customer data. 

It’s easy to get so keen on handing over the work once you find the right person that you don’t sort out the things you need to protect your business.   Some things can come back to bite you later.  Long after the work is done.

Whether you are looking for a short term project, or an ongoing and trusted VA or associate, we know that not everyone has the long term experience to know how to protect their business.

While things mostly go right, there are things you should not miss out.  Things that will come back to haunt you a long time from now.

And now with GDPR and data privacy rights you are going to need to do a lot more to ensure your data is properly accessed and managed.

This issue is not going to go away.  You are front-line in ensuring your VA works in a GDPR (or equivalent) ready way.  Even if your VA is popping into your office from time to time, you still have to take care of this.

Your need to be thinking about things like:

  • Making sure you have an NDA
  • Securing rights when the work is done
  • GDPR compliance

If it all goes wrong you can lose time (and money) on things like “I thought you were doing that” or “But that is extra”.

Taking on my first associate was really simple with the KoffeeKlatch associate agreements. I felt confident that the agreements would protect both of us if anything were to change and reassured by the level of detail they go into. Clauses on payments, holidays, confidentiality, standards of work etc. it's all there!

  • Avoid misunderstandings about what is chargeable when
  • Sort out who is supposed to be doing what
  • Avoid unexpected tax bills

  • Set standards
  • Establish deadlines that are met

All designed to help you

This is not a vague freelance agreement that is supposed to fit anyone from a plumber to a computer specialists. You won’t have to wade though things that have nothing to do with the modern VA role. We know you will be sharing data, working in the cloud and doing all the things that make your growing business thrive.

A specific VA agreement fit for the way you work today!

 I have been using Koffee Klatch contracts for a number of years ... Recently, a long standing client of mine wanted to hire one of my associates directly. Thankfully, the non-compete clause set out in the VA hiring agreement meant he was unable to swoop in and take over, thus potentially losing business revenue as well as a talented VA. We came to a very amicable agreement, only after making my business position and that of my team very clear.

The VA I was using was getting access to some of the key assets in my business... I realised I needed to get some paperwork in place to protect both my business and the VA’s business. After all, I believe that protection goes both ways. .. .  covered all the things I needed to protect my data and my business. From confidentiality to data protection and tax it set out everything we needed to discuss and agree. Plus it was really simple to use. I just added in the key words and the contract did all the rest. No expensive lawyer fees involved. It was easy to understand and I felt comfortable issuing it. And I can use it again for my next VA.

So much more than a Global VA Hiring agreement

 

Working with experienced business owners from solo practitioners to team leaders, these terms have been developed to give you the structure and flexibility you need.

We create transparent contracts to help ethical business owners  create boundaries for the team you don’t yet know.

You can use them as a free-standing agreement or alongside our basic policy starter pack (if you don’t have things like a data protection policy or a social media policy) or with other team hiring agreements 

But you are not just purchasing document templates.  You are joining a lively and supportive group designed to help you adapt to a changing legal landscape and get used to being the boss of your own global  business.

Just put these all together to match what you need to get your  business really into gear

Is this the right agreement for you?

These documents were developed in the UK for VAs who want to contract to GDPR standards for data security.

If you are in the UK/EU or have customers in the UK/EU or are accessing data about UK/EU citizens these documents will set you on the right track.

Local legal advice is always recommended as no-one can keep up with every detail of every change in every country.

These documents are designed to get you thinking about the best and appropriate practise for your business.  They are not a substitute for good business processes.
