Effective March 3, 2025, Wrapbook will collect a new Benefit Cost Rate (BCR) add-on tax for wages paid in California, New York, and Connecticut. The BCR add-on is a supplemental employer tax related to Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) charges.

BCR add-on rates & annual employer maximums, per employee:

• California: 3.7% ($259 max)
• New York: 1.1% ($77 max)
• Connecticut: 0.8% ($56 max)

What you need to know:

• BCR add-on applies to all wages processed in these states going forward (up to the $7,000 federal wage base).
• There is a possibility that the BCR add-on for 2025 will be waived at the federal level. The waiver decision should be made by September 30, 2025. We will inform you of the waiver decision as soon as we have it.
• If the BCR add-on is waived, we will refund the BCR add-on fees collected.
• If the BCR add-on is not waived, we may retroactively collect for this period for employees who worked January 1 - March 2, but did not work a sufficient amount after March 2 to reach the $7,000 wage base.

Based on crew workers continuing to be employed throughout the year in these states, we believe we can shoulder this burden together and come through stronger.

Approval workflows for timecards, expenses, and POs can be assigned to specific Organizational Units (OUs).

Customize approval workflows for each organizational unit and designate specific approvers. This ensures approvers can only access and review timecards, expenses, and purchase orders within their assigned unit.

Accessing your financial data just got more intuitive. Our new AI-enabled General Ledger allows you to find exactly what you're looking for using simple, everyday language.

Simply ask questions like "Show me all payroll expenses from January" or "What were our location rentals costs last quarter?" in the quick filters search field. AI will apply the appropriate filters, which you can review and adjust before downloading your report.

In 2024, the state of Connecticut paid off its federal unemployment loan, causing the FUTA Supplemental rate to drop to 0%. However, as of January 1st, 2025, the state now has a new outstanding loan. Due to Connecticut’s borrowing history—four consecutive years between 2022 and 2025—the state will be subjected to a supplemental 1.2% on FUTA for the current tax year.

Accordingly, projects in Connecticut will see a 1.2% increase in FUTA Supplemental on all future payrolls. 

Please note that the change will only apply to payrolls going forward; we will not be back-collecting on any previously-run payrolls.
