2024 may be winding down, but Wrapbook’s commitment to giving you a delightful and friction-free experience continues. 

Before we close out the year, let’s take a look at our latest enhancements and important EOY reminders.

Plan your payroll for bank holidays

The holiday season is officially in full swing! Please note that both banks and Wrapbook will be closed on the following dates:

  • Wednesday, December 25 (Christmas Day) 
  • Wednesday, January 1 (New Year’s Day)

If your planned payroll date falls on a bank holiday, please prepare for additional payroll processing time to avoid delays in payment.

Get a jump on year-end tasks

As an Employer of Record (EOR), Wrapbook will file all quarterly and annual returns for any workers and wages processed through the Wrapbook platform and under Wrapbook's EIN. 

It is your responsibility to file directly with the appropriate agencies any financial transactions processed or paid outside of Wrapbook.

See our End-of-Year FAQs for any questions you may have. And to help ensure that your year-end tasks run smoothly…

1. Fund your final payroll: The deadline to fund your final payroll is 5pm EST on Thursday, December 26, 2024. Payrolls funded after December 26 are not guaranteed to have a 2024 check date.

2. Double-check your worker classifications: The deadline to update classifications is 5pm EST on Thursday, January 2, 2025. If you find a misclassified worker, please reach out to support@wrapbook.com.

Increased flexibility for adding work locations

It’s easier than ever to add a work location to a project in Wrapbook. 

Now, all you need to know is the city and state of the shooting location in order for you to add it to a project.* This means having precise shooting addresses upfront is no longer necessary—you can add them later and still keep things moving.

* Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania work locations require full addresses for local tax reporting purposes.

International address support for vendors

Vendors paid in USD with international addresses can now be recorded in Wrapbook.

Now when you add a vendor, you can select the vendor’s country and accurately record its information.

This update streamlines the process of working with international vendors and allows for proper documentation and reporting.

Support for bonus payments

Issuing year-end bonuses or other incentive payments? You can now pay workers with payments specifically coded as bonuses.

Simply go to Timecards & Expenses, select Add Expense/Allowance, choose Other > Wages [Taxable], and select Bonus under Wage Type. From there, just enter the details and you're all set.

Startwork: New fields and icon updates

Startwork Creator now supports new interactive elements, such as text fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons. 

Plus, Smart Fields and signatures will now appear as icons instead of text, offering a cleaner and more intuitive user experience.

General ledger report page enhancements

For Production Accounting Suite Only

  • Additional filters including vendor, asset, and description
  • New report columns like PO# and asset
  • Options to include or exclude specific data, such as distribution changes
  • Enhanced grouping options for more detailed reports

AP and Journal Entry reversals

For Production Accounting Suite Only

We’ve introduced a new feature that allows production accountants to reverse or reverse and reissue posted unpaid AP invoices and posted Journal Entry transactions.

This AP and JE reversal functionality enables the correction of transaction errors without deleting or altering original entries. It enhances efficiency and minimizes the risk of errors associated with manual reversal of incorrect transactions.
