Frequently asked questions
What work can a virtual assistant take on?
Common assignments include inbox sorting, calendar updates, research, data entry, document formatting, and task follow-up. Define which tasks the assistant owns, what needs approval, and how you want progress reported before work begins.
How should I prepare work for a virtual assistant?
Share access through appropriate accounts, explain your naming and filing conventions, and provide examples of completed work. A written priority list and a clear escalation path help the assistant handle routine tasks consistently.
Which time zones can the role cover?
Candidates in the Philippines work US, Australian, UK or European business hours, and each job post says the schedule. Agree the daily overlap before you hire, and remember the clock shifts when the US or Europe changes its time.
How do I pay someone abroad?
Most employers pay by Wise, Payoneer or a bank transfer. Agree the method, the rate and the payment dates before work starts, and keep the invoices for your own records.
Is this person my employee or my contractor?
Most people hired abroad work as independent contractors: you pay an agreed rate and they handle their own taxes and benefits. If you want an employment relationship, check the rules where you are hiring from or use an employer of record.
Does WorkNow charge a placement fee?
No. You can post a job for free, and our team reviews the first one before it goes live. You are never charged a percentage of the salary.
