Like traditional employees, virtual assistants and contractors must be paid. You can opt to mail a paper check to your virtual employees, but this is often just one more hassle in an already complicated home office setup. It also costs extra money in printing and mailing costs.
A better way to pay virtual employees is through the internet. Monetary transactions online are much safer than they used to be, and there are several large companies who deal specifically with electronic funds transfers. The most popular of these is PayPal, which allows any two individuals with (free) PayPal accounts to exchange money online. You can register checking accounts, savings accounts, and even credit cards with PayPal, and most virtual telecommuters and freelancers already have PayPal accounts. Paying them is a simple matter of signing in to your account and allocating funds from your checking account—and PayPal takes care of the rest.
You can also set up online transfers between checking accounts, or direct deposit for permanent employees. Most banks will allow you to do this right from their web site, without ever setting foot in a branch office.
