# Fringe reports

## Overview

*A fringe report* gives you a detailed breakdown of fringe costs; like union benefits, payroll taxes, workers' comp, 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 be created in the following file formats:

- PDF
- CSV
