Wrapbook

Fast, easy, and less expensive than others

장점:

The best part about Wrapbook is the price. While other payroll companies charge 3-5%, Wrapbook charge between .75% and 1.5%. With AB5 and Dynamex making payroll necessary for even the smallest shoots, it's fantastic to have an option that helps minimize my P&W from upwards of 25% to closer to 20. Plus, it's fast and easy. I hate paper timecards - especially needing someone to hand them out and collect them in the era of COVID. Doing it online means I'm not chasing down paper copies all day (/week, /month) and can wrap jobs faster.

단점:

There are a few aspects that don't feel entirely intuitive, although they are doable. However, crewmembers have expressed confusion over how to add kit fees or gear rentals. It's not hard once you learn how to do it, you just have to learn how to do it. Having said that, the customer support is so good that it's never been a real issue.

Full-Featured, Scalable, Affordable Solution to Payroll

주석: Great company. Genuinely interested in providing a turnkey solution to production payroll. With new laws and regulations, I decided to take on a greater role in handling payroll and payments in general. Wrapbook, I feel, is the best company to use, due to the ease and speed at which the process can be completed -- and the very reasonable costs.

장점:

Ease of onboarding, simple user interface, quick and efficient customer service. You get all of the power and service of a huge payroll company at an unbelievably low cost -- and very personalized attention. I had a small concern with a task that needed to be done when setting up each production (since I am a commercial photographer, I have LOTS of short productions and it was a hassle to have my regular crew verify/input the same tax info repeatedly) and when I emailed my concern, Wrapbook literally changed the system to facilitate this concern. That has NEVER happened with any other company which I've used.

단점:

The only cons I experienced (having some initial difficulties navigating the process since I had never before done payroll) were a result of me being too busy to accept to introduction & personalized walkthrough that was offered to me. So, let them walk you through the process once or twice and you will avoid the small bumps that I endured as a result of not taking the time.

Difficult and Time Consuming for those who have talent who need to get paid

주석: I just did, above.

장점:

YOU do not see all sides when you created this product.

단점:

This software, compared with Extreme Reach, Team etc.. is too demanding and it continually overrides the agent's ability to control the payment destination. Time after time I have had payments go to my talent instead of my agency. In the end I stopped using a vendor because they used this software. I mainly dislike it because they require the actual talent to sign off on where the check goes, with the agency having no override on this decision. When an agent doesn't get paid directly, there's always a chance a talent may not ever send the commission. No commission means no payment. The talent should not be involved in this payment process, it is between the booked parties, that's it.

I'd be lost without wrapbook

주석: I love it, and I'm not even considering looking elsewhere. I run a business, and I don't have time to get in the weeds with stuff like production payroll since I'm staffing up short-term employees for shoots. I'm grateful that this solution is out there to save me so much time.

장점:

Wrapbook removes the most tedious tasks from production payroll that I used to do in-person such as I-9 and other start paperwork. Then they bring it through to the end by funding payroll, which has become quite confusing since AB5. I love how quickly everyone gets paid, because I can run an actual budget immediately after production. Also, I should mention that they send out a great newsletter with articles that keep me up-to-date on the laws.

단점:

The branding on the homepage made me slightly question the legitimacy of the company, but once you get in you realize it's solid and well thought through.

Finally!

주석: Before Wrapbook, it was an absolute headache to onboard employees and get them paid in a timely manner. This software has completely changed the game for us. We're a mom-and-pop production company with only two full-time employees, and so having a payroll partner with an easy-to-use interface for both administration AND our day-playing employees is a tremendous tool. Wrapbook gives us the ability to focus on our roles as producers instead of having juggle also being accountants. Since using Wrapbook, I haven't had a single on-boarded employee express confusion about the process, which was always the case with our previous payroll partner.

장점:

Very intuitive UI, seamless automatic withdrawal and deposit for payments, easy access to all financial records, reliable customer service, quick and easy on-boarding, comprehensive WC.

단점:

Would like to be able to use on jobs involving local labor-unions, especially SAG.

Wrapbook Review

장점:

Wrapbook has streamlined our payroll process, easing up many of the labor intensive parts of pre-production and wrap. Instead of wrangling huge amounts of paperwork from cast and crew, Wrapbook simplifies everything and allows most of it to be done from your phone. Especially in the age of Covid-19, this is a huge benefit. Additionally, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the Wrapbook team are top notch on the customer service front which makes every job with them go incredibly smoothly. The platform is intuitive, the crews all seem to like it and the production companies enjoy the typically lower fees and excellent customer service.

단점:

Fully digital payroll process may take some getting used to for some crew members

Great Customer Service

주석: As a small business owner of a video production company, I was looking for insurance solutions. While all the nuance of insuring productions can seem daunting to someone mainly versed in the creative side of productions, our insurance broker, [SENSITIVE CONTENT], was a dream to work with. He took the time to answer or find out the answers to our questions. And he did so in a patient and informative way that alleviated our stress in partnering with an insurance company. We initially started with a project-based, short-term policy, but after our experience with [SENSITIVE CONTENT], my company moved to an annual policy when it came time to insure an additional project. And throughout that process, he continued to patiently work with me and my team to answer any questions we had and he was incredibly responsive in doing so. Working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been one of the best customer experiences I've had in an era when so many of these interactions are impersonal and/or incredibly frustrating. He is an exemplar of customer service and I hope Wrapbook recognizes him as such.

장점:

I use Wrapbook for insurance purposes, so I typically only interact with the software to issue insurance certificates every few weeks - however, that experience has been seamless so far. The true highlight of my experience with Wrapbook was the customer experience, please see my review below.

단점:

No complaints, however I am not an active user of the software.

Highly Recommend!

주석: I have really enjoyed our experience with Wrapbook thus far!

장점:

The Wrapbook makes it very easy to process payroll at a competitive price. It also allows a safe and clean way to distribute timecards and paperwork without the need for printed paper / distribution of pens.

단점:

I wish there was a way to upload documents (NDAs, Releases, etc.) for every individual on a project to fill out.

Excellent Service, Personal Support

장점:

What's great about Wrapbook is the intuitive design, backed by personal support from a great team. They are also great at staying up to date with the ever-changing landscape of production payroll and adapt quickly as needed.

단점:

I'm looking forward to a seamless mobile experience.

A much easier way to do payroll

주석: It's been a blessing to change over to Wrapbook for our payroll services, and we can't wait to roll it out over the next year on larger productions

장점:

The ease of running payroll, and managing any ongoing projects. We are used to setting people up with paper payroll (or PDFs of the documents), which becomes wonky and requires lots of time for both the employer and employee. With Wrapbook we've been able to send out invites to the crew members easily, and they have it all filled out within minutes.

단점:

I wish there were ways to implement NDAs and other documents into the docs-sign feature, rather than having to send that separately. Would also be great to have some color coding within the platform to speed up some processes for new users

Wrapbook, the perfect tool that helps save time and money.

주석: For me as an IT Technician since I have been using wrapbook, I have not yet had any delays or confusion in my payments. Everything is fine at the moment.

장점:

The software is easy to use, it is also not difficult to learn and familiarize yourself with it. No delays or confusion in the withdrawal and deposit of payments.

단점:

The ease of time conversion on the software.

Backstory Review of Wrapbook

주석: Amazing. Responsive, cost effective and time saver! Crew love it too.

장점:

I love the integration of I9's and W4's so that we have no physical paperwork to worry about on set. We can keep everything in the cloud, on board with ease and save production time every shoot. we make commercials and with 1-3 day shoots - the volume of paperwork we used to do was way too high.

단점:

I wish the software had more ability to customize the guaranteed hours in a day and set the OT rates custom. For example, an 8 hour day or 14 hour day base rate and then changing at what point the OT turns to 1.5, 2, 3x or more. I have had jobs where we budget for a different amount of hours than standard off the bat and need the flexibility. I also am still awaiting the feature of adding a coordinator to being someone who can sign and authorize I9s.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT] is amazing!

주석: I am Wrapbook's number one fan for life.

장점:

The customer service with Wrapbook is always above and beyond, but [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was helpful, communicative, and friendly! If only all the insurances of my life could have been this easy to set up and use!

단점:

I have no issues yet. I will let you know if and when I do.

Perfect Tool for the Year of AB-5 & COVID-19

주석: It's been so easy and seamless, both from the employer side and from the employee side. Crew members are constantly telling us they wished more companies used Wrapbook.

장점:

The software is incredibly easy to use, which was perfect for our small production company as we had to transition into paying crew members as employees under AB-5.

단점:

The user interface can be a little unintuitive at spots, but that's been improving over time.

Wrapbook

주석: Best experience from the software itself to the customer service.

장점:

Wrapbook is user friendly. It is so easy for crew to log on and upload all of their payroll forms and time cards. On the administrative end, it is very easy to track the status of crew who have uploaded or need to upload. It has cut our time spent doing payroll in half. Once someone is uploaded, they don't need to upload again as you do with other programs. Such a great product overall, and the customer service is quick and friendly.

단점:

No cons about this software. No complaints!

Ease of Use

주석: I love this product. This has helped so much, especially because I don't come from a payroll back round. Payroll somehow got dumped on me, and I'm glad I found Wrapbook.

장점:

I love how easy it is to use, it wont let you go on until you complete things properly.

단점:

I wish it would have an easier way to convert time.

Can't Work Without It

주석: Fantastic. Literally a lifesaver and can't do work in this age of TV/Film/Commercials/Music Videos without it.

장점:

Wrapbook makes all of my payroll and insurance needs super easy to manage. I work freelance and have tons of different contractors come through on projects. Wrapbook allows me to take care of them all with no problems.

단점:

Would like a slightly easier way to add existing employees to project. Drag and drop maybe?

Makes Payroll as Painless as Possible!

장점:

The user interface on the freelancer side AND my side is super simple, clear and straightforward

단점:

I don't have any problems with Wrapbook so far

Simplifies payroll

주석: We have had an excellent experience with Wrapbook. This platform totally changes the payroll game, from a cumbersome analog process to an extremely user friendly all online system.

장점:

Ease of use. Allows me to pay my crews quicker.

단점:

Can't think of anything. The software has made processing payroll much much easier for our organization.

Great Customer Service and Easy Use of Product

주석: [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] were both super helpful and informative when setting my business up with short-term insurance and payroll services. They were super responsive and quick to help with the smallest of questions. The use of Wrapbook and it's insurance certificate program is so simple to use and makes our lives a whole lot easier.

장점:

So easy and easy to use to get what you need done fast.

단점:

Nothing yet! It has been a seamless experience so far.

First-Time Filmmaking Accounting Made Easy!

주석: I think the most beneficial product feature is the customer service. Accounting for filmmakers can be tricky because often you're dealing with unions. It was helpful that the support team at Wrapbook was so familiar with union rules, and that that support was made available to us when we needed it.

장점:

As a first-time filmmaker, I found the platform incredibly intuitive, from the initial setup to managing our small cast and crew. With restrictions on in person interactions, due to Covid-19, it was crucial that our accounting software prove easy to navigate.

단점:

Honestly, Wrapbook has met all the accounting needs of our production, surpassing expectations.

Great Solution

주석: Wrapbook has been a great solution to our payroll needs.

장점:

This software is easy to set up and use. The customer service is excellent.

단점:

I'd like to prefill timecards before their due date.

Wrapbook is amazing!

주석: Easy to use, clear, concise and flexible to fit my need!

장점:

- Centralized program that is easy to navigate and keep record of - Paperless so there is no waste/scanning etc. - It moves at your own pace! No hoops to jump through or tedious edits to close payroll

단점:

Sometimes hard to add users, but I was able to figure it out.

Wrapbook is wraptastic!!

주석: Loved it - did payroll for 30 very quickly.

장점:

What I liked most about the software is ~ it was very easy to use and it did the math for you. Plus, we were able to set up a Covid Stipend in accounts payable and I just found it easy to work with. This is my first time using the software - but the company I am freelancing with have used it for a while.

단점:

I WISH THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND TIME CARDS ALWAYS DEFAULTED TO ALPHABETICAL ORDER. That would make it easier to keep track of any additional expenses.

Perfetly Solves My Problem

주석: As a small production company in a rural I need to hire talent and crew that don't always have representation or a formal business. Legally I need to hire them as employees and I had no idea how to hire someone as an employee on such a short term basis until I found out about Wrapbook.

장점:

I like the my employees and contractors can fill out thier own info and I dont need to babysit.

단점:

The typefaces for the UI are too thin, not very legible. Sometimes I create a project that never happens, it'd be nice to be able to delete or archive my projects.
