# Payroll Register (project level)

## About the Payroll Register

The *Payroll Register* at the project level gives you a complete view of all payroll activity for a specific project. It’s a foundational report used by producers, accountants, and payroll teams to understand every dollar paid—including gross wages, taxes, and deductions.

## Ways to use this report

The project-level *Payroll Register* is useful for:

- **Budget reconciliation** - Match actual payroll costs against your project’s labor budget
- **Wrap bookkeeping** - Include in your final wrap package to deliver full transparency on payroll expenses
- **Audit and compliance** - Maintain a clean and detailed payroll record for union, guild, or tax authority audits
- **Vendor reporting** - Use this report to break out payments to crew and contractors for financial tracking
- **Dispute resolution** - Quickly confirm payment amounts, dates, and deductions for any worker inquiries
