Don't lowball — This is about building a loyal team, not chasing the cheapest help.
These are solid middle-class salaries in the Philippines — sustainable, ethical, and life-changing.
Why This Matters
Building your back-office team in the Philippines isn't about finding the cheapest option — it's about plugging reliable people into your business at a fraction of what you'd pay locally.
With the VirtualStaff Seat System, what you decide to pay your staff is exactly what they receive.
There's no markup, no salary cut, and no extra payroll costs — just reliable full-time people working directly in your business.
It's the most ethical way to build a real back-office team abroad — and ironically, it's also the most cost-effective.
The VirtualStaff Seat System is designed to grow with your business, one Seat at a time. Many companies start with just one or two Seats, and as they see how simple and effective it is, they scale naturally — some ending up with 10, 20, or even 100+ VirtualStaff Seats powering their operations.
