Step 1Agreement — Catalyst Performance LLC

Covers your work with training clients, Studio members, and wellness/recovery — the non-clinical side.

Part-Time Employment Agreement

Catalyst Performance LLC — Frank Pucher

This Part-Time Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between Catalyst Performance LLC (the “Company”) and Frank Pucher (“Employee”), effective August 1, 2026. The parties acknowledge that Employee spent July 2026 in unpaid orientation and onboarding by mutual agreement; paid employment under this Agreement begins on the effective date.

1. Position

Employee is employed part-time as Catalyst Concierge (Client Experience & Growth) for Catalyst Performance and The Studio by Catalyst, reporting to Alex Golding. This is a non-exempt, hourly, hybrid position based across Catalyst’s San Diego locations (primarily Point Loma and Rancho Bernardo) with remote outreach work.

2. Duties

Employee’s responsibilities for the Company include:

  • Outreach, follow-up, and relationship management for training clients, Studio members, and wellness/recovery clients, including reactivation of former clients and members.
  • Increasing awareness and cross-utilization of Catalyst services (personal training, small group training, classes, recovery/wellness lounge, massage/bodywork), and guiding clients to the appropriate team member at each location.
  • Follow-up on leads from events, community partnerships, and campaigns, and supporting retention and client-experience initiatives.
  • Use of the Company’s CRM (Arketa) to track outreach, communications, and conversions.
  • Supporting team communication and culture across locations, and other reasonably related duties as assigned.

3. What This Role Does Not Cover

Work with physical therapy patients, or any access to or use of protected health information, is outside the scope of this Agreement and is performed solely under Employee’s separate employment with Catalyst Physical Therapy & Wellness, Inc.

4. Compensation

Employee will be paid $20.00 per hour, non-exempt, for all hours worked under this Agreement, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule and subject to required withholdings. Employee must accurately record all hours worked for the Company using the Company’s timekeeping method, and hours worked for the Affiliated Company (defined below) must be recorded and paid separately by that entity.

Scheduled hours under this Agreement are expected to average approximately 7–8 hours per week (approximately $600 per month). Combined with the companion agreement described in Section 5, Employee’s total expected compensation across both companies is approximately $1,200 per month for approximately 15 hours per week in total. Hours may flex week to week with prior approval, and all hours actually worked will be paid.

5. Dual Employment; Allocation Between Companies

Employee is simultaneously employed part-time by Catalyst Physical Therapy & Wellness, Inc. (the “Affiliated Company”) under a separate agreement. Each company is a separate employer with its own payroll, and this Agreement governs only work performed for the Company. Work involving physical therapy patients or protected health information (“PHI”) is performed exclusively under Employee’s employment with Catalyst Physical Therapy & Wellness, Inc., and never under the other entity.

6. Confidentiality

Employee will have access to confidential business information, including client and member lists, contact information, pricing, business plans, and systems. Employee agrees not to use or disclose such information except in performing duties for the Company, both during and after employment. All client lists, records, and materials remain the sole property of the Company and must be returned upon termination of employment.

7. At-Will Employment

Employment is at-will. Either party may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice. Nothing in this Agreement creates a promise of continued employment.

8. General

  • Employee confirms they are free to enter this Agreement and it does not conflict with any other obligation. Employee’s outside mentorship/coaching work (approximately 20 hours per month) is acknowledged and permitted so long as it does not involve Company confidential information or solicit Company clients or staff.
  • Employee will comply with the Company’s employee handbook and policies, as updated from time to time.
  • This Agreement, together with the companion agreement referenced in Section 5, is the entire agreement regarding Employee’s employment and supersedes prior discussions. It may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties.
  • This Agreement is governed by California law.

Step 3Your Information

Used for payroll setup and your employee file at both companies.

Step 4Payroll Forms — return to Annie

Because you're employed by two companies, each form is needed once per company (two copies each). Good news: every form below can be typed on-screen — no handwriting needed. Fill them on your computer, print, sign, and bring them to Annie (aa@catalystptandwellness.com) at Mission Valley.

  • W4
    Form W-4 — Federal withholding
    Fillable PDF — type directly into it. Complete two copies (one per company).
  • DE4
    Form DE 4 — California withholding
    Fillable PDF — type directly into it. Complete two copies (one per company).
  • I-9
    Form I-9 — Employment eligibility
    Fillable, but open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) — it usually won't work in a browser tab. Type Section 1, then bring your original ID documents (e.g., passport, or driver's license + Social Security card) in person to Annie — copies can't be accepted for I-9.
  • $
    Direct Deposit Authorization (ACH)
    Fillable PDF — type your details, check "Both companies" to use the same account for both payrolls, then print, sign, and hand it to Annie with a voided check or your bank's direct-deposit letter. Please don't email it once it has your account numbers on it.
  • Employee handbook, technology policy & HIPAA acknowledgments
    Annie will have these ready to sign when you're in for the I-9, and will get you scheduled for HIPAA + EMR training. Heads up: since CPTW is a healthcare practice, Annie may have a few additional clinic-specific items for you to complete during onboarding — she'll walk you through whatever's needed.
🔒 Please don't email your SSN, date of birth, or bank details — hand those forms to Annie in person (or use the payroll company's secure portal once she sends you the invite).
