Fringe reports

Overview

A fringe report gives you a detailed breakdown of fringe costs—like union benefits, payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and more—across payroll, a project, or company. This report is especially valuable for productions that need to track true labor costs for budgeting, union reporting, or cost reconciliation.

The report includes key information such as:

• Project and worker details

• Gross wages and employer payroll taxes

• Workers' compensation insurance

• Union benefits (health, pension, annuity)

• Fringe rates and total fringe costs

Fringe reports can created in the following file formats:

• PDF

• CSV
