So because some VAs dont work many hours each year, they should get ridiculous money so they can live of it? Its just ridiculous. Its not a full time job. So yes, getting 250$ per hour is alot. Thats like 10 times higher than your average wage. I mean where do you get the idea that VAs should be paid much higher for way fewer hours of work? Just because its not certain if they will get another gig? Well people who only work 3 days a week should get paid the same as someone working 5 days a week, because sure why not... Silly.

If people only work part time as a VA, sounds like they should have as second job to fill in the gaps.  People are too entitled.

If people need to work part time because VA doesn't pay enough then you won't have good professionals doing the work and quality will suffer. I would guess people from US/UK haven't faced terrible dub work because of bad professionals.

So you think receiving less than the base minimum is ridiculous money?

Each profession have its own pay grade, and if it is a profession it should more or less as a competent professional afford you enough for a living.

Ridiculous would be me asking for teachers to receive per hour as much as a football player per hour on official matches. Nope, what I'm explaining to you is why the hourly wage for short terms contracts is higher than full time. There are professional dub artists that work on fixed contracts with an agency, so they will receive an weekly wage, based on the year value, and then that agency will catch the work and profit over it and charge based on the size of the contract.

To me what seems you and some other are complaining is that she and others should be making less because your 44h/week work pay less per hour worked than this contract.

Ok how much should she recieve then? You keep saying its not enough, what is enough then? Give me a number.

She didn't receive anything since she wasn't hired. You mean how much she was offered? Whatever it was it was less than 4k which is being throw around as the base payment for VA on expected duration of work.
