Before inviting SAG-AFTRA workers to a project in Wrapbook, there are important steps you'll need to complete.
Complete an onboarding call
In order to pay SAG-AFTRA workers, you must complete an onboarding call with your Wrapbook Customer Success Manager (CSM) before the start of your production.
Provide documentation
We’ll also need copies of the following documentation:
Your executed SAG-AFTRA agreement - This contract provides Wrapbook with important information about the agreement's terms and conditions, as well as P&H percentages
Exhibit Gs - Exhibit G is a Production Time Report Form used to track the working hours of performers, ensuring fair compensation, safety, and union record-keeping
Union Startwork for all SAG-AFTRA workers
To learn how to add these documents to your project, see Add a project document.
Failure to provide this documentation in a timely manner can result in payroll delays and additional fees from SAG-AFTRA.
Required production information
Productions are required to provide signatory information so Wrapbook can report benefits. If you don’t have this information for your production, please reach out to your SAG-AFTRA representative. Failure to provide accurate information may result in late reporting, liquidated damages charged by the health plan, and a possible delay in returning the security deposit.
In order to report health benefits on behalf of your production, the following Signatory and Production information is required:
Signatory ID
This is the account number the SAG-AFTRA has assigned to the signatory company
The Signatory ID is required for all remittances. Failure to provide accurate information may result in late reporting, and the production will be responsible for liquidated damages charged by the health plan
Please note, the Signatory ID is NOT the same identification number as the Production ID
Production ID
This is the account number typically assigned to a project
The Production ID is used by the SAG-AFTRA health plan when trying to locate specific projects/series
When production wraps, it’s common for the health plan to reach out to the payroll house to ensure contributions have correctly been reported
The Production ID is used as the unique identifier when the health plan reaches out to clear a project before the security deposit can be released back to production
Please note, the Production ID is NOT the same identification number as the Signatory ID
Production Title
This is the title of the project registered with SAG-AFTRA
This is required for all remittances and will be used to report to the health plan
Please avoid acronyms and use the exact title on file with SAG-AFTRA
Pension & Health (P&H) percentage
Wrapbook collects SAG-AFTRA pension and health withholdings and remits them to SAG-AFTRA benefits
In order to process your payroll without delays, Wrapbook will need to know your SAG-AFTRA P&H percentage as soon as you’re aware of it
Please reach out to your paymaster with this information
