Migrating MS ACCESS going to My_sql and PHP

The project is about employees and clients, which employee is going to work to which client. There is about 7 tables and 10 forms the more complicated form is the pay generation that we need to calculate how many hours worked per month that is why is here the more detailled info. All other forms is just creating the employee on one form and linking to the corresponding client. Since I don’t know how the freelancer works, communication etc I would prefer to give first that project as can be stand alone from the rest and if communication is ok then I give the rest of the job. I would like to talk to the person either phone or skype in order to explain the work and not only webchat.
