Federal labor law limits what a human receptionist can actually cover. Here's the real math.
| Human receptionist | NovaCalls | |
|---|---|---|
| Hours covered | 40 hrs/week (overtime law kicks in past that) | 168 hrs/week — 24/7/365 |
| Overtime cost | 1.5× pay past 40 hrs/week (FLSA) | $0 — no overtime, ever |
| Paid time off | Typically 10–15 days/year | 0 — never off |
| Sick days / no-shows | Happens | Never |
| Response time | Can be on another call, at lunch, etc. | ~2 seconds, every time |
| Monthly cost | $3,168/mo (BLS median) | from $397/mo |
| Annual cost | $38,010/yr (BLS median) | from $4,764/yr |
