1. How to Combat Increased Minimum Wages
and Rising Employee Costs With Noon Dalton
How does a 40% reduction in payroll compare to what you’re spending now?
The increase in minimum wage has already gone from being a hot topic to an anticipated thorn in the side of many
businesses across America. And for companies in cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, San Francisco,
Chicago, Washington DC and others, where the minimum wage is already high, rising employee costs are not a
welcome reality. But there is a way to escape these increased business expenses and even reduce the costs
you’re experiencing already.
Use Noon Dalton Virtual Employees
As a business owner or manager, you’re tasked with ensuring that your company runs at maximum efficiency while
keeping costs as low as possible. As cities across the nation gear up to raise minimum wage – whether companies
want to or not – it may seem as though you’re fighting a losing battle.
And if you’re operating a business in a city that’s already paying above the average, like Oakland ($12.25) as
compared to Florida ($8.05), you’re already spending more that you have to. Hiring a Noon Dalton virtual
employee is a healthy alternative that will not only reduce your costs, but also enhance your profits.
Your Employees Cost More Than Just Their Salary
Consider how much you’re spending right now. If you add up the cost of your current minimum wage employees,
plus the additional expenses of benefits, approximately 30% and another 10-15% on top for hard costs like energy,
telecom, technology, desks, chairs and lighting, you’re spending astronomical amounts where you could be saving.

Experience Dramatic Savings
Depending on the size of your organization and how many
employees you already have onboard, transitioning to an
offsite, virtual team could provide dramatic savings. With a
virtual team, high overhead costs for office space, taxes,
benefits, etc. are eliminated.
According to an article on BizQuest, Global Workplace
Analytics reported that outsourcing jobs to virtual
employees can save a typical business $11,000 per person
per year in overhead and operating costs.
The rise of minimum wage may be inevitable, but suffering
those higher costs doesn’t have to be. A Noon Dalton
Virtual Employee not only solves the problem, they offer
many other invaluable benefits to your business.
Give Them Any Job, Big or Small
An increasing number of professionals are leveraging the
power of the internet and today’s mobile resources to make
a career for themselves remotely. Because of this, the
virtual workforce is chock full of skilled workers who can focus on what you need done, including:
• Basic administrative and general office support like data entry, research, order processing, basic
bookkeeping and accounting and many others
• Sales tasks like research and lead generation and marketing duties, managing social media accounts, chat
support, managing CRM (e.g. SalesForce) and much more
According to research, 70% of companies that hire virtual staff do it because, on top of the savings, they want
access to a greater talent pool. 63% do it to delegate job responsibilities, improve customer relationships and
develop new products and services.
Increase Productivity
Enlisting the services of a virtual staff offers a new level of productivity for your company. Studies have proven that
people working remotely take fewer sick days, have lower stress levels and are exponentially more productive.
And because your team may be located across several time zones, the workday is often expanded by several
hours. Imagine the time you’ll save when you can delegate many of the repetitive, mundane tasks that take you
away from more important core business matters.
Hiring a virtual staff through NoonDalton will cost you 40% less than hiring locally. To find out more and get a free
