Hi Classy Jacket! Thanks for the thoughtful questions. Our assistants get paid based on how long they've been with the service - after training period, they'd get paid anywhere from $2.50/hr - $5.00/hr (high end for some that work for our platform). Minimum wage in Philippines is ~$1.16 / hr which is typical for a lower paying job such as a personal assistant. The average wage in Philippines is ~$2.50/hr. Keep in mind, this is including higher paying jobs such as engineers, doctors as well as higher wage areas (Manila) etc so we are paying VERY well, especially to the assistants in lower wage areas. We've heard that some government workers in the Philippines get paid less than $2 / hr, causing them to spend more than half of their wages on transportation. Cost of living in Philippines ranges from ~$490 - $1060/month if you have to travel to work (main pain point we've heard from our assistants as many commutes are >4 hours a day) as transport costs ~$150/month due to inflation / gas prices. However, if they are able to work with us at home, their costs drastically are reduced (transport costs and decreased food costs) to ~$300 - $500. We like to have dedicated assistants who are able to cater to our clients' preferences. Ideally, the assistant would assist one client for 40 hours / week. However, we offer 5 hours / week chunks for some professionals who do not require as many hour. On average, our assistants assist ~2 clients each. Thanks and let us know if helpful :)
