About payments & agent fees
When setting up your payment method, it’s important to remember that payments directed to agents will always be made in the form of mailed, paper checks - Wrapbook does not offer direct deposit of payments to agents.
You clients’ payments will include:
Your client’s pay
Your agent fee
Your agent fee is set by the production administrators when they invite you and your client to their project in Wrapbook. When your agent fee is set, it will be included in worker paychecks and will be taxed as worker wages.
How agent fees are structured in Wrapbook
When a production company adds an agent fee to your talent's deal, that fee is included in the talent's gross wages and taxed accordingly — it is not issued as a separate check. The full gross amount (your talent's wages plus your fee) flows through payroll and is taxed as part of the talent's total gross. You receive this as a single mailed paper check.
If you prefer to receive your agency fee separately from your talent's wages, you can arrange this directly with production outside of Wrapbook rather than using the platform's agent fee feature. This decision should be made before payroll is processed.

Click Agent Settings, then click the Edit button next to Banking Information
Check payee settings
In the Payment Method section of the Banking information page, you’ll be required to enter the Agency with Payment Authorization and Agent payee format.
Agency with Payment Authorization
In this field, enter the name of the Agency with Payment Authorization. What you enter here dictates how the authorized agency name will appear on checks.
Note: Since agents can enter their clients’ details directly into the system, Wrapbook doesn’t require Payment Authorization Forms (check authorization forms) in order for your clients to be paid.
Agent payee format
Under Agent payee format, you can click the Agent payee format dropdown menu to specify how the Pay to line should be printed on checks issued to your clients. Your options in the dropdown menu are:
AGENT c/o WORKER
WORKER c/o AGENT
For loan-out corporations, check payee lines are always formatted as:
AGENCY NAME C/O LOAN-OUT CORPORATION NAME
Mailing Address
In the Mailing Address section, you can click to update:
Name of Agency (or Agent)
Address on Payment Authorization Form
