ArenaFlow's Coach Payroll add-on replaces the monthly Excel-based salary calculation most Indian academies still run. Configure salaries, generate payroll in one click, issue payslips, track salary history, handle multi-coach academies across centres — all from inside the same ArenaFlow dashboard you already use.
Excel works fine when you have one coach. It starts breaking when you hit three. By five coaches across two centres, with different salary structures, mid-month bonuses, and irregular attendance affecting variable pay — Excel becomes a recurring source of errors, disputes, and wasted hours each month-end. Coach Payroll replaces that entire workflow.
Indian academies that underpay or mis-pay coaches by even small amounts repeatedly are the academies that lose senior coaches fastest. A single late payment, a missed bonus, or an inconsistent payslip is what makes a coach update their resume — and good coaches have no shortage of options. Coach Payroll makes the monthly payroll cycle as boring as a calendar event. Pull up the dashboard on the 1st, hit run, payslips go out, coaches see the breakdown clearly, payment instructions land in your inbox. Done.
Fixed salaries, per-batch pay, per-session pay, attendance-linked variable pay — Indian academies use all of these models, sometimes for the same coach. The payroll module supports all of them.
Configure each coach's salary structure once: fixed monthly, per-batch, per-session, hourly, or hybrid (e.g. base + per-batch bonus). The module computes accurately every month, accounting for actual attendance, sessions delivered, and any overrides you apply.
Hit "Run payroll" on the 1st. ArenaFlow pulls the month's actual data — batches coached, sessions delivered, coach attendance — applies each coach's salary rules, and produces a complete payroll sheet ready to review.
Every coach gets a PDF payslip the moment payroll is finalised. Their academy's logo, salary breakdown, attendance summary, and your signature. Coaches can download from the ArenaFlow app — no more chasing the owner for last month's payslip.
Larger academies have coaches who work across multiple centres. The payroll module handles this — Coach Sandeep might be paid ₹400/batch at the Pune centre and ₹500/batch at the Mumbai centre, with totals consolidated at month-end.
Coach Payroll is a ₹599/mo add-on on top of your standard ArenaFlow plan. No per-coach fee. Configure as many coaches and salary structures as you need. Activate any month, deactivate the next — no annual lock-in.
