Contractor Payroll Board

Phone-based hour submissions and payment approvals for freelance coaches

Problem

Small organizations pay several part-time coaches at different rates, currently collecting hours over text and sending Zelle transfers one by one, which invites miscalculation, missing records, and no audit trail. Generic payroll or time-tracking tools are too heavy and expensive for a dozen people.

Solution

Coaches submit hours from a mobile web page, the system applies their rate and calculates amounts due, then notifies the owner for approval. Approvals produce a payment list; users can still pay via Zelle or bank transfer, but every step is logged and exportable.

Users

Youth sports organizations, small training studios, and teams that pay hourly contractors

MVP

Mobile web hour submission for coaches; auto-calculated amounts by rate; approval notifications with one-tap approve; monthly payment list and CSV export; simple role permissions

Revenue

Monthly subscription tiered by organization size, e.g. $19/month up to 20 people

Why now

These orgs are moving off pure manual work plus Zelle, but mainstream HR tools have too much overhead; avoiding money custody sidesteps licensing complexity
