How White-Glove Hourly Contracts Work
A White-Glove hourly contract is full-service, managed staffing: Automate America employs the professional as a W-2 employee and handles payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and compliance, paying weekly — the company just interviews, selects, and approves timesheets.
Step by step
A company posts a White-Glove contract
The company posts an hourly contract with the skills, location, schedule and rate it needs. They choose White-Glove so Automate America manages employment end to end.
Professionals apply and interview
Qualified professionals apply. The company reviews profiles, interviews, and selects who they want — exactly like hiring, without the paperwork.
Automate America onboards the professional as a W-2 employee
We handle the employment paperwork, verifications and compliance, and bring the professional on as a W-2 employee of Automate America.
The professional works and logs weekly timesheets
Work happens on the company’s schedule. The professional logs hours each week through the Automate America timesheet system in seconds.
The company approves timesheets
Each week the company approves the submitted hours — usually within 24–48 hours. That approval is all the company has to do on payroll.
Automate America pays weekly and handles everything else
Approved hours are paid every Friday by direct deposit. We run payroll, withhold taxes, carry workers’ compensation, and keep the engagement compliant the whole way through.
