Paying SAG-AFTRA workers
If you have production workers who are SAG-AFTRA members, be on the lookout for emails from the Wrapbook payroll team, especially during your first payroll, as there may be further questions regarding your contract.
In addition, note the following:
SAG-AFTRA workers have the option of receiving payment either by direct deposit or by check
All SAG payroll will be processed by Wrapbook within 24 hours and not sooner
If you’re required to use a SAG-Escrow to pay SAG-AFTRA workers, you’ll need to add this information when you invite them to a project. To learn more, see SAG-AFTRA escrows.
SAG-AFTRA workweeks
SAG-AFTRA workweeks run Sunday to Saturday.
SAG-AFTRA workers:
Must be paid on weekly payroll cycles
Must be paid for all work in a given week the week after it is performed
In order to ensure this timeline is met, we recommend adhering to the following schedule:
Sunday
Ensure everyone is set up. This includes making sure everyone you are paying has been onboarded to Wrapbook and ensuring that your company bank account is linked to pay people.
Monday
Add all union paperwork to the Documents folder. Include gross wages or have your payroll coordinator add them in for you.
Tuesday
Payroll preview is generated. Confirm the preview by 10PM EST. Send payment for the payroll.
Wednesday
Funds are received and sent to tax withholding agencies.
Thursday
Checks are sent out and unions receive their payroll reports.
