# Adding Employment type to a worker's invitation

## Overview

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

- *Employee type*
- *Hire location*
- *Agent information*
- *Guild*
- *Job title*
- *Alternate job title* (optional)
- *Department*

## Employment type

- Under *Employment type*, 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
- When selecting the Employee (W-2) option, an *Employee type* dropdown menu will appear where you can select one of the following options:
  - ***Variable hours*** *hours vary by week*
  - ***Full time*** *>30 hours a week*
  - ***Part time*** *<30 hours a week*
- When inviting a *loan-out worker* working in California, you can optionally enter their *CA Employer Account Number.* If you don’t have their *CA Employer Account Number*, or the loan-out won’t be working in California, you can skip this field. [Learn more about this option and related requirements on the California EDD website.](https://edd.ca.gov/en/payroll_taxes/senate-bill-422-motion-picture-industry-and-loan-out-companies/)
- To learn more about employee types, see [Worker classification](/v1/docs/worker-classification)

## 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

## Agent information

- If the worker is represented by an agent, you can add their agent’s information here.
- For more information, see [Onboarding workers with agents](/v1/docs/onboarding-workers-with-agents).

A loan-out corporation is a company set up as a separate legal entity, usually for an actor, recording artist, or other individual, for the purposes of using the loan-out company's corporate legal protection. Paid via EIN (Employer Identification Number), with no tax deduction

A loan-out company is a corporate entity, typically an S Corporation or C Corporation, that "loans out" the services of an individual (usually an entertainment industry professional) to other companies. The individual is an employee of their loan-out company, which in turn contracts with production companies or other businesses.
