Frequently Asked Questions
Working With Your VA
If you and your team or partner collectively utilize the VA within the agreed-upon hours, there won’t be an issue. However, please note that the VA’s availability is based on the hours you’ve contracted for. Keep in mind that any overtime hours worked beyond your initial agreement may incur additional charges. TaskPluto can help coordinate and manage shared access to ensure smooth collaboration and efficient utilization of your VA’s skills and support.
TaskPluto’s VAs are based in the Philippines, which is in the Philippine Standard Time (PST) zone. However, our VAs are highly adaptable and can work according to your specific time zone requirements. Whether you need support during North American hours, European hours, or any other time zone, we can coordinate with your VA to ensure they work when it’s most convenient for your business.
In addition to your direct feedback and communication with your VA, our Client Success Managers (CSMs) are readily available to assist with any questions or concerns regarding your VA’s performance. We also conduct regular performance reviews, where your feedback plays a crucial role in continuous improvement. Periodically, we’ll request your feedback through surveys or forms to gain valuable insights into your satisfaction and areas where we can enhance the quality of service provided by your VA. Your input is essential in ensuring that your specific needs are effectively met.
If your partnership with your VA doesn’t meet your expectations, TaskPluto is here to help resolve any concerns and find a solution. In exceptional cases where challenges persist and cannot be resolved, TaskPluto can, with your approval, explore the possibility of matching you with a different VA whose skills and work approach better align with your requirements. Our priority is to ensure your satisfaction and the success of your virtual support experience.
