"Staff punch in from their own phones; the owner approves an ADP-style timesheet and runs payroll — stubs, bank file, year-end — without a payroll company."

Video narration script (ready to record)
Time and payroll, end to end. It starts on the employee's phone. They add the company punch clock to their home screen — it carries the business's own name and opens like an app. One big button clocks them in and out. Taking lunch? A break button asks what the break is for and takes the time off their paid hours automatically. Forgot to punch out? The app flags it in red and lets them message the manager the real time — and the manager fixes it in one click. The manager sees an ADP-style timesheet: every day of the pay period, every punch, breaks, daily totals, week totals with overtime, laid out per employee. Approve the hours — approvals lock the punches so nothing changes underneath you — and open a pay run. The pay run snapshots hours and gross pay per employee, hourly, salaried, or contractor, overtime included. Enter withholding, and you get printable pay stubs, a payroll register for the accountant, and — for direct deposit — a bank-ready ACH file the owner uploads to their own bank. Paper-check people get their stubs. Year-end, the system assembles W-2 and 1099 summaries per person. No per-employee monthly fees. The business's accountant keeps doing taxes; everything else just happened in-house.

Talking points

  1. Kill the per-employee fee
    Payroll companies charge a base + per-person per month, forever. Ask what they pay ADP/Gusto today, then show what's included here.
  2. The punch app demos great
    Pull it up on a phone: big green button, break with a reason, the missed-punch red flag. Owners with hourly staff feel this daily.
  3. Time flows into money
    The hours they approve are the hours payroll pays — no re-typing, no separate time-clock subscription.
