Adding Employment type & job to a worker's invitation

Prev Next

When inviting a worker to a project, you’ll need to add specific information about:

  • Employee type

  • Work locations

  • Hire location

  • Guild

  • Job title

  • Alternate job title (optional)

  • Department

Employee type

  • Under Employment type & job, click to choose either Employee (W-2) or Loan Out (Company)

  • In Wrapbook, it’s critical to correctly assign employee types when inviting workers to a project because they affect how taxes will be calculated and reported

  • To learn more, see Worker classification

Work locations

  • Under Work locations, click the checkboxes next to the project work locations where they’ll be working

  • This is required for all projects (both union and non-union) for tax calculations, minimum wage compliance, worker's compensation rules

  • To learn how to update a project’s work locations, see Project settings - Payroll

Hire location

  • Under Hire location, click the state and city dropdown menus to select where they were hired

  • This is the studio zone where the worker is hired, not necessarily where they actually work

  • The hire location determines which union local a worker can be part of and how their pay is calculated

  • This is only required for union projects

Guild

  • Under Guild, click the dropdown menu to select the union or guild that they’re a member of

  • If they have no guild affiliations, select Non-Union

  • Guilds determine how workers are paid, what benefits they receive, and what rates apply. For example, WGA workers can have daily and weekly rates, as well as flat amounts using specific calculators

  • To learn how to update the guilds a project is working with, see Project settings - Unions, Guilds & Health Plans

Job title

  • Under Job title, click the dropdown menu to select a job title for the worker

  • A worker's job title affects how they're paid, and determines whether a worker is classified as Above-The-Line (ATL) or Below-The-Line (BTL), which impacts billing and downstream processes in payroll and accounting

  • For union projects, job titles are connected to specific unions, locations, and contractual agreements

Alternate job title

  • Adding an Alternate job title allows workers to have different job titles and corresponding pay rates within the same project

  • When an alternate job title is added, the worker will be able to choose which job title to use when creating timecards or payables

  • Alternate job titles are optional

Department

  • A worker’s department determines which authorized company members need to review and approve a worker's payables

  • Depending on your company’s settings, you may be required to select a department that the worker will be under

  • To learn more, see Company settings - About organizations
