# How to update a project worker's job details and pay rates in Wrapbook

## Overview

[Authorized](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) company team members can only make changes to a worker’s job details if the worker hasn’t been paid on any Wrapbook project before

- If the worker has been paid previously, please [contact our Support Team](/v1/docs/how-to-get-help-using-wrapbook) for assistance

For deal-related information (like allowances, rates, or work locations)

- Administrators can make changes, but this will trigger a new approval workflow where the worker must review and approve the [change](/v1/docs/update-job-details-and-pay-rates#change-forms)

## How to update a worker’s deal

To update a worker’s job details and pay rates:

1. In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu
2. In the dropdown menu, select the name of the project that the worker has been added to
3. In the left-side navigation, click **People**
4. On the project *People* dashboard, click the **View** button next to the worker that you want to update

## Change forms

A change form is a regenerated startwork document that Wrapbook automatically creates when you update a project worker's deal terms after they have already signed their original startwork. When certain deal details change, such as pay rates, allowances, or deal dates, any startwork documents that contain [smart fields](/v1/docs/onboarding-smart-fields) tied to those details need to be re-issued and re-signed to reflect the updated terms.

**Note:** A change form is only generated when the affected deal has startwork documents with smart fields linked to the changed deal information (for example, a Crew Deal Memo with *rate* smart fields). If no startwork documents are connected to the updated fields, no change form will be generated.

### What triggers a change form?

A change form is triggered when you edit any of the following deal details after a worker's startwork has already been signed:

- Pay rates (rate adjustments, added rates, or rate name changes)
- Allowances
- Job title
- Union/Guild affiliation
- Deal notes
- Deal dates (start or end date)

### What happens when a change form is triggered?

When a change form is triggered, Wrapbook:

1. **Regenerates the affected startwork document(s)** with the updated deal information pre-populated in the smart fields
2. **Sends the worker an email notification** letting them know their startwork has changed and they need to re-sign
3. **Resets the worker's onboarding status** until they complete re-signing
4. **Blocks timecard submission** until the change form is signed

### What do you need to do after making a change?

After saving changes to a worker's deal:

1. **Confirm the change form was generated** — check the worker's startwork status in their [worker profile](/v1/docs/about-worker-profiles#overview)
2. **Notify the worker if needed** — Wrapbook automatically sends an email, but you may want to follow up directly to ensure they're aware
3. **Monitor re-signing** — track the worker's onboarding status to confirm they've completed re-signing before their next payroll deadline
4. **Counter-sign if required** — if your startwork documents require a production [counter-signature](/v1/docs/electronic-signature-lines), you'll need to sign the regenerated document after the worker has signed it

Documents filled out by workers at the beginning of the work, which contains specific, vital information needed to process payroll.
