About Timecards

A timecard in Wrapbook is your central tool for tracking work hours, wages, allowances, and expenses for each production workweek. It ensures you get paid accurately for your time and any additional compensation you're entitled to receive.

Timecards & Allowances dashboard

Your timecards are tracked on the Timecard & Allowances dashboard for each project that you’ve joined.

To access a project’s Timecards & Allowances dashboard:

  1. In the left-side navigation, click All projects

  2. On your All projects dashboard, click the View Project button next to the project that you want to see the Timecards & Allowances dashboard for

  3. In the left-side navigation, click Timecard

On a project’s Timecards & Allowances dashboard is:

  • Details about your worker classification, union affiliation, and wages

  • The timecard for the most recent workweek. To select a different timecard workweek, click the dropdown menu at the top of the dashboard.

  • A Week Breakdown of the timecard’s entered totals for standard and any non-standard wages, agent fees (if applicable), gross wages, along with the status of the timecard, any notes that have been added to the timecard, and payment status

Dynamic workweeks

By default, Wrapbook establishes a worker's workweek as starting on their first day of employment on the project. This is called a dynamic workweek because not all project workers will necessarily have the same workweek configuration.

For example:

  • A worker starting a project on a Monday would have a Monday-Sunday workweek in Wrapbook

  • A worker starting a project on a Wednesday would have a Wednesday - Tuesday workweek in Wrapbook

Timecard tips

Use these tips to make sure your timecards are accurate and paid on time:

  • Submit your timecard promptly at the end of each week

  • Keep detailed records of your hours and expenses

  • Include clear notes for any special circumstances

  • Attach any required documentation or receipts for expenses

  • Double-check all entries before submitting

Why can’t I enter the dates in my timecard?

There are a few key reasons why you might not be able to enter certain dates on your timecard:

Project Start and End dates

  • Your timecard dates must fall within your project's official start and end dates

  • If you need to enter time for dates outside of these ranges, please contact your project administrator to verify your official start/end dates

Pay week structure

Your project may have specific work week definitions that determine which dates are available for time entry. These workweeks are configured by your project administrator and may not always align with calendar weeks (Sunday-Saturday).

Timecard submission status

  • Once a timecard has been submitted and approved, those dates will be locked for editing

  • If you need to make changes to an approved timecard, contact your production administrator

Still Having Issues?

If you're unable to enter dates that you believe should be available, please:

  • Verify your project start and end dates with your production administrator

  • Ensure you're selecting the correct workweek from the dropdown menu

  • To adjust timecard dates or request unlocking, click the point of contact link at the bottom of your timecard to send an email to your production administrator

Look for the Need help? alert at the bottom of your timecard. Click point of contact to send an email to your production administrator.

Who is my point of contact?

In Wrapbook, your point of contact is the designated production administrator that you should reach out to with questions about a specific project. You can find your point of contact for a project that you’ve joined in Wrapbook, by going to your timecard. Look for the Need help? alert at the bottom of your timecard and click the point of contact link to send an email to your production administrator.

How do I create my timecard?

In Wrapbook, your timecards are automatically generated for each workweek that falls between your project start and end dates, so as a production worker, you don’t need to create a timecard. Simply go to your Wrapbook account to access your timecard, fill it out, and then submit it to your production administrator. To learn how, see About timecards.

As a worker, what do I need to know about how my overtime is calculated in Wrapbook?

In Wrapbook, workers who are non-exempt from overtime will have their wages for overtime work automatically calculated on their timecards based on their workweek and US Department of Labor FLSA requirements.

  • By default, Wrapbook establishes a worker's workweek as starting on their first day of employment on the project. To learn more, see Dynamic workweeks.

  • Under the FLSA, a workweek is a fixed and recurring period of 168 hours — 7 consecutive 24-hour periods

  • All hours worked during that fixed period are tallied to determine if the employee has exceeded 40 hours — and thus is owed overtime

  • FLSA requires that non-exempt workers be paid 1.5x their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek, regardless of the day the work occurs

As an hourly worker, how do I fill out my timecard when I worked overnight into the next day?

When entering work time that spans across midnight into the next day, you’ll need to enter the actual end time for when you finished working on both days worked during the shift.

For example, if you worked from 10:00 AM on Monday, through the night until 3:00 AM on Tuesday you’d enter your time as follows:

  • For the first day (Monday), enter the START time as 10:00 AM and then enter the END time as 11:59 PM

  • For the second day (Tuesday) enter the START time as 12:00 AM and then enter the END time as 3:00 AM
