Thanks so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the flexibility and pay—those are two things we work hard to prioritize. You're right about the 1099 structure—while it offers independence and control over your schedule, we know it also comes with trade-offs, like not having traditional employee benefits. We always aim to be transparent about that from the start so candidates can decide what works best for their season of life. We appreciate the work you do and are so glad you're part of the BELAY team!

Salary Transparency

Pros

Super flexible job, gives contractors a bit of security.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity to increase salary (only 1$ raise per year) also Belay is paid the same the contractor is paid. So if the contractor is making 20 dollars an hour so is Belay. I feel like maybe it should be 70% / 30%.

Pros

Remote work Great Clients You get to choose who you want to work with CSC will reach out if they feel you are a good fit

Cons

Clients pay more than double what you are paid You can only make $21/hr tops Belay will let you go without warning nor will they communicate this with your clients Your contract states you are not allowed to work with your clients for 2 years after you leave Belay You will have to be bought out and that's like $25,000

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns. At BELAY, we continually evaluate our pay structure to remain competitive. Our VA rates start between $19-$22 per hour, depending on factors such as experience, qualifications, skillset, and location. Additionally, our Virtual Assistants and Marketing Assistants have the opportunity to request a rate review annually to assess eligibility for an increase. While client pricing varies by package, BELAY’s fees support the resources and services that ensure an exceptional experience for both our contractors and clients. Regarding communication, transparency is a top priority for us. We strive to provide real-time feedback and open dialogue throughout your time with BELAY. We would love to learn more about your experience with communication so we can address any concerns. In instances where a client and contractor wish to work independently outside of BELAY, they would need to discuss buyout options with their Client Success Consultant. These costs vary based on the client's specific contract and package details. Again, we appreciate your time and input. If you’d like to share more about your experience, we welcome the opportunity to improve.
