If you need to adjust a project’s Unions, guilds, & health plans settings, please contact your Customer Success Manager or the [Wrapbook Support Team](/v1/docs/how-to-get-help-using-wrapbook). **If your project does not involve any unions or guilds**, you can click to choose **No** next to *Are unions or guilds involved in this project*? Next, you’ll be prompted to select or add the project’s [paid sick leave policy](/v1/docs/unions-guilds-health-plans-1#paid-sick-leave) for non-union workers. ## Access Unions, guilds, & health plans > [!NOTE] > Unions, guilds & health plans are permission based > > To access, your account must have one of the following [roles](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) enabled: > > - Role: *Company Admin, Company Manager, Project Coordinator* > - Custom role with: *Project management* - *Full access, Manage* To access *Unions, guilds, & health plans* settings: 1. From the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu 2. Select the name of the project that you want to see the settings for 3. In the left-side navigation, click **Project settings** 4. Under *PROJECT SETTINGS*, click **Unions, guilds, & health plans** ## Unions, guilds, & health plans options In a project’s *Unions, guilds, & health plans settings* you can see the following information: ### PHBP The *Producers' Health Benefits Plan* (PHBP) is a group health insurance plan for employees in the commercial production and post production industries - The plan is employer-funded and available to eligible staff and freelancers of participating companies. ### Unions & guilds - If IATSE, Teamsters, DGA, or SAG-AFTRA are involved with your project, you’ll find the details here including: - *Default hire state* and *City* - *Which unions & guilds are involved?* - Based on the unions and guilds added, required information will be listed here including the projects: - Agreements - Timekeeping information - Any other information that is required specifically by the union/guild to the project’s [*Documents*](/v1/docs/documents-admin) ## Paid sick leave As the employer, you’re responsible for tracking all paid sick time for your employees, including work completed outside of Wrapbook. To help you manage this, Wrapbook provides a tool for tracking sick leave accrual and payment. Paid sick leave policies that have been set for a project will appear in the *Unions, guilds, & health plans* section of *Project settings*. Once you onboard a worker to a project, you won’t be able to change the paid sick leave policy. If you need help updating this, please [contact the Support team](/v1/docs/how-to-get-help-using-wrapbook). ### **Select a paid sick leave accrual policy for a project** - Click to choose the policy that you’d like to offer: *Unlimited, Minimum, Custom,* or *Tracked outside of Wrapbook* - In most cases, we recommend selecting an *Unlimited* policy because it simplifies a company’s administrative burden for tracking paid sick leave across projects - When you select *Unlimited*, workers can claim paid sick time when they have a valid reason to do so, as provided by applicable paid sick leave laws - The *Minimum policy* will provide the least compliant accrual based on your project’s work location. This option is only available for projects with one work location. Multi-location and union policies are not currently supported. - If your company uses [Production Entities (PE)s](/v1/docs/about-production-entities), you’ll be able to select the PE when you set up paid sick leave policies for a project, so they can be tracked against the appropriate EIN - If you choose *Custom*, you’ll be prompted to add additional information to configure your policy ### Add a custom paid sick leave policy to a non-union project You also have the option to open the *Create a custom policy* drawer where you can configure the paid sick leave policy for a non-union project. To add a custom paid sick leave policy for a non-union project: 1. From the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu 2. Select the name of the project that you want to add a custom paid sick leave policy for 3. In the left-side navigation, click **Project settings** 4. Under *PROJECT SETTINGS*, click **Unions, guilds, & health plans** 5. Click on **Non-union** 6. Click **Create a new policy** 7. In the *Create a custom policy* drawer, enter the Policy name and the required details including the following: - *Can this policy be used by all production entities?* - *Do you require a probation period before employees can use their paid sick time?* - *What is your employee's paid sick leave accrual rate?* (hours per hours worked) - *What is the maximum number of hours an employee can accrue?* - *What is the maximum number of hours an employee can use each year?* - *What is the maximum number of hours an employee can carry over per year (Dec 31)?* 8.

Productions contribute to MPI on covered wages, and MPI tracks those contributions. When applicable, the MPI details for your project will be listed here: **Production title** - The official show/production name as registered with MPI for IATSE/Teamsters reporting. This is the title MPI expects to see on contribution reports and correspondence. **Employer number** - The *MPI Employer Account Number* assigned to the employing entity (the signatory company/production entity). This identifies the employer in MPI’s systems for benefits contributions and reporting. **Production ID** - The MPI Production/Project ID assigned to a specific production under the employer’s account. This distinguishes one show from another for reporting.
