Definitions

What We Do

ALLIED offers Virtual Assistant Project Management services tailored to childcare businesses as well as accommodates the Clients other business ventures outside of Childcare Centers. Clients are assigned to a Project Management team that oversees tasks delegated by the Client. ALLIED strives to complete tasks diligently but does not guarantee business success. ALLIED reserves the right to determine the feasibility and timeline for completing tasks based on the services provided.

Communication Expectations

To ensure high-quality service, the Client must communicate tasks and projects with the SC/ASC, who will coordinate the timeline and assign them to the appropriate specialty VAs as necessary. All communications must include the SC and ASC to maintain accountability. The Client agrees that timely and clear communication is essential to the success of the working relationship. Delays in communication from the Client may result in missed deadlines, for which ALLIED will not be held responsible.

ALLIED will provide updates via the client dashboard with a general overview of tasks completed and items in process. Once monthly hours are exhausted, ALLIED will notify the Client and pause work until the next billing cycle. Should a SC or Client identify that additional hours or packages are necessary, they can discuss these options with the Director of Operations.

Hours and Time Tracking

ALLIED tracks hours used on behalf of the Client and may monitor VA screens to ensure accuracy and integrity. ALLIED operates on trust, ensuring that hours billed reflect work performed. Certain tasks may require multiple VAs based on expertise, and more complex tasks may consume more hours. If a task is not completed to standard and ALLIED received clear instructions from the Client, ALLIED will complete the task to the Client's satisfaction, even if additional hours are needed.

Unused hours do not roll over month to month, and services may not be paused for a period of time to avoid billing cycles.

Billing

Payments are required in advance of services being rendered. If a payment is missed or canceled, services will be suspended until payment is received. The Client remains responsible for fulfilling the terms of the agreement, even in the event of non-payment, and may be held legally liable through collections or other necessary actions to recover the owed amount.
