Cost Comparison: Your Local Admin vs. Permanent Staff

When it comes to hiring admin support, the cost of a full-time employee can add up quickly.

A permanent admin assistant earning $30-40/hour can end up costing between $90,000 and $110,000 annually, factoring in overheads like KiwiSaver, ACC, leave entitlements, and equipment.

The True Cost of a Permanent Admin Employee

• Net Working Hours: 31.4 hrs/week

Permanent staff work roughly 31.4 hours per week after accounting for leave and breaks.

• Actual Productive Hours: 15-20 hrs/week

Studies suggest that a permanent employee’s productive hours are often just 3-4 hours per day, regardless of the total time spent at work. This results in just 15-20 hours of productive work per week.

How Your Local Admin Saves You Money

With Your Local Admin, you pay only for the hours you need, with no overhead costs. For instance:

• If you need 20 hours per week of admin support, your cost could be just $78,000 annually, without worrying about leave, HR, or equipment costs.
• This results in savings of up to $12,000 – $32,000 per year compared to a permanent employee!
