- Reasonable Turnaround Time: Standard task turnaround is 24 to 48 business hours, with allowance for same-day requests when submitted before 10:00 AM.
- Minimum Deductions of Less Than 1 Hour To Enhance Fairness: Rather than deducting an hour for every task, some of which may not take up to half an hour, you enjoy as low as 15-minute minimum deductions. Tasks that take less than 15 minutes still get 15 minutes deducted to cover setup and context switching.
- Reliable Time Tracking and Transparent Monthly Logs: We carefully track and log the time we use in handling your tasks and send you a clean summary breakdown at the end of the month so you always know where your hours went.
- 100% Rollover Protection: Unused hours purchased in a particular month roll over 100% into the immediate next month purchased, ensuring you never lose the support you pay for, and are to be used after the hours for the new month have been exhausted.
For example, 5 unused hours bought in September can be carried into the immediate next month (October), and can be used only if you have paid for October and when the hours bought in October have been exhausted. The unused hours from September cannot extend beyond the immediate next month into November.

Here are the top reasons UK-based businesses and professionals choose RemoteDraft’s Admin Assistants:
No Payroll, No HR Headaches – Just Results
When you hire a Virtual Administrative Assistant through RemoteDraft, you’re not hiring a freelancer or adding someone to your internal payroll. You’re contracting with us, a remote staffing agency that provides fully-managed virtual talent for service delivery.
Think of it like hiring an accounting firm to handle your books. You’re hiring RemoteDraft to handle your administrative tasks.
No employment complications, just professional service delivery.
This is a service contract where you purchase administrative services, not individual workers.
We assign someone to handle your tasks, but they remain our responsibility, not yours.
Therefore, you don’t have to handle or worry about:
– Registering as an employer with HMRC for PAYE (Pay As You Earn)
– Setting up Real Time Information (RTI) submissions and Full Payment Submissions (FPS)
– Managing P45 forms for leavers, P60 annual summaries, or P11D benefit reporting
– Completing starter checklists for new employees (replacement for old P46 forms)
– Calculating and deducting Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs)
– Apprenticeship Levy reporting (for businesses with annual pay bills over £3 million)
– Workplace pension auto-enrolment compliance
– Statutory sick pay, maternity pay, and holiday pay calculations
– Employment rights compliance including minimum wage regulations
– Handling employment tribunals or redundancy procedures
– Managing Employer’s Liability Insurance requirements
– Dealing with HMRC audits or PAYE compliance investigations
– IR35 assessments or Status Determination Statements
All of that complexity goes away when you work with RemoteDraft.
We handle everything, from sourcing, payment, management to support, so you don’t have to worry about compliance, liability, or hidden costs.
We act as the contractor.
You simply receive an invoice, make your payment to us, and get consistent support from your assigned virtual assistant (Remote Draft).Â
Note: For specific tax and compliance questions related to your business, we recommend consulting with your accountant or tax advisor.
Flexible Plans for Different Workloads
RemoteDraft offers different Virtual Administrative Assistant plans to fit different workloads, from a light 10 hours a month up to 40 hours a month for heavier part time needs.
No Infrastructure Required, Zero Overhead Costs
You do not need to worry about office space. We handle that.
You do not need to provide computers, internet or basic software licences, unless you specifically need your assistant to use a paid tool on your own account.
Dedicated Support for You
Our support team stays involved, not just during onboarding but throughout your engagement, to keep collaboration and performance smooth.
