Wrapbook is focused on providing you with secure, compliant payroll solutions that simplify the complexity of entertainment payroll. As part of our continual investment in compliance, you will soon see several improvements to project setup and worker onboarding that make compliance easier downstream.

For example, new minimum wage guardrails now warn you when the entered rate for an employee is below federal or state minimum wage based on your project’s location. You’ll also be prompted to enter your Workers’ Start and End Dates and we will be wrapping old projects where there was no activity for the last 90 days.

When creating a new project, you’ll soon be required to designate a Regular Pay Period. The Regular Pay Period you select for a project will then automatically display on Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA) startwork templates for you to use in Wrapbook.

FAQs about Regular Pay Periods

• What is a regular pay period? A regular pay period is a recurring period where a Worker’s hours are recorded and paid for. Various states, including New York and California, require a regular pay period to be defined and communicated to workers at the time of hire.
• What if my project location does not require a regular pay period? In rare instances where a regular pay period is not required, please select “Not Required” from the Regular Pay Period drop-down menu. To find out if your location requires a regular pay period, please reference the Department of Labor State Payday Requirements. 
• Does Wrapbook enforce regular pay periods? No, Wrapbook does not currently audit or enforce these pay periods within our product. Companies are expected to submit payroll based on the pay period they designate. 
• What will Wrapbook use this information for? We will use this information to populate required legal documents, disclosures, and templates related to worker onboarding and employment. 
• What if my job is only a few days in length? For certain states, like New York and California, you may still be required to designate a regular pay period and pay your workers following that pay schedule. For example, for a job in California, if a worker only works on March 1 and you designate a bi-weekly pay period, the expectation is that worker will be paid on the schedule for the bi-weekly pay period that includes March 1. 
• What if I cannot meet the minimum regular pay period for my project? You will be required to enter a minimum regular pay period on our platform unless you determine it is not required in your project location. While we do not audit your compliance today, we encourage and expect you to follow your designated pay period. 

FAQs about Worker End Dates

1. What is a Worker End Date? A Worker’s End Date is the last day that the worker will perform work for you on the project. The Worker may still work for you on other projects in Wrapbook. You can still pay Workers on this project after their Worker End Date.
2. Can I still pay a Worker if it’s after their End Date? Yes, you can run payroll and pay a Worker after their End Date for work done on or before that End Date.
3. Can a Worker log time for work performed after their End Date?  In order to do so, please update your Worker’s End Date so it falls on or after any dates during which that Worker will need to log time.
4. Why can’t I select a Worker End Date farther into the future? The latest Worker End Date you can select is the Project End Date. If you plan to have work done after your Project End Date, please extend your Project End Date in your Project Settings.
5. What if my project changes and I need to change my worker’s End Date? You can go into any Worker profile (from the Project > People > View > Job Details > Change Worker End Date.)
6. What are you enforcing based on the Worker End Date? As we continue to invest in making compliance simple and straightforward for our customers, we may use this input to offer you helpful features such as only allowing a Worker’s hours to be logged within their start and end dates and other features like notifications and reminders in the future.
7. What if I don’t know my Worker’s End Date? By default, Worker End Dates will be set as the Project End Date. You can update your Worker’s End Date later on as well.
