Easily Pay Union Scale Rates & More: What’s New in Wrapbook

Wrapbook is the next standard for production finance and accounting teams, which means making your experience with us a delightful one. Check out this month’s product improvements and additions to help ensure that you achieve success faster.

Pay at scale rate

Need to pay union workers at scale? You can now do it with a single click, automatically. 

When you invite a worker, select the Pay at scale rate option and the scale right will populate the worker’s pay rate automatically. Once that’s selected, any increases in the relevant union agreement will be automatically applied, so you can rest assured that you’re paying your crew compliantly. This feature can be turned on by navigating to Company Settings then Worker hiring.

Non-waiver support for work performed in Canada by US employees and loan-outs

You can now use Wrapbook to pay US workers (both union and non-union), as well as loan-outs, for work performed in all Canadian provinces except Quebec.

Key features:

• Input Canadian work locations during project setup.
• Calculate US and Canadian taxes.
• Issue year-end Canadian tax documents like T-4 and T4A-NR.

For more information see International payroll support.

Bulk-assign startwork documents to workers

You can now group startwork documents into packets, making them easy to manage and assign when inviting a worker to a project.

You can:

• Create startwork packets to organize large sets of documents for specific worker types.
• Quickly review and select a startwork packet when hiring a worker.

Add shifts to a paid timecard

You can now add missing shifts to a timecard even after it’s been marked as paid.

Simply open the timecard, select Add Day(s), enter the details, and click Save & Calculate.

Key features:

• Clear notifications: See when a timecard was modified and what changes were made.
• Version history: Both workers and companies can view versions of timecards showing changes, dates, statuses, and payments.

Updated Demographic Hiring Report

In August 2021, AICP launched a demographic reporting initiative with the payroll community to simplify the process for commercial production companies to share employment demographic data with advertising agencies and marketers.

This September, AICP expanded their Demographic Reporting requirements by introducing additional options for gender identity and adding a new veteran status category.

Workers can now enter these additional details into Wrapbook during project onboarding, and the Demographic Hiring Report in Wrapbook has been updated to include these new fields.

New Government Forms Database

1099s, W-4s, and bears—oh my! Gearing up for a project always involves lots of forms, and until now, they weren’t always so easy to track down.

Wrapbook’s new Government Forms Database puts state and federal government forms at your fingertips—all in one easy-to-use database.

This helps you save time and ensures you always have access to the up-to-date forms you need.
