Enjoy Smarter Compliance and Vendor Management Tools

Welcome to January! We’re kicking off 2026 with updates that give production teams more control, clearer data, and less manual work across accounting, onboarding, and payroll.

This month’s releases focus on cleaning up vendor data, aligning payroll with real-world accounting systems, and removing compliance guesswork—especially for union and multi-state productions. We’re also previewing what’s coming next with a reimagined timecard experience built specifically for production payroll.

Here’s what’s new:

Accounting & spend: Cleaner data, better reporting

To streamline the way productions manage financial data, we’ve introduced tools that make accounting workflows more accurate, consistent, and easier to maintain.

Centralize your vendor management

Vendor lists can grow messy across multiple projects. Now, Company Admins can promote project-level vendors to the company level, keeping vendor data consistent and audit-ready across your entire company.

With centralized vendor management, you can:

• Promote project-specific vendors for company-wide use
• Reduce duplicate vendor entries
• Improve reporting accuracy and tax filing with consolidated data
• Maintain full audit history when vendors are promoted

The result: cleaner data, fewer duplicates, and simpler reporting across every project.

GL dimensions built for how productions operate

Every production structures its accounting differently—and now Wrapbook adapts to match. With full GL dimension support, you can map payroll data directly to the ERP fields your accounting system actually uses.

This update lets you:

• Use standard ERP dimensions like Departments, Locations, Projects, Classes, and Tasks
• Set company-level defaults, then override by project or chart
• Manage mappings through a self-serve, intuitive configuration UI

No workarounds. No manual fixes. Just payroll data that lands where it should.

Onboarding & payroll: Built-in compliance, less guesswork

To simplify onboarding and reduce compliance risk, we're introducing updates that help productions meet regulatory requirements without slowing down payroll.

Meet IRS requirements with confidence

Wrapbook collects signed state tax withholding forms in all 43 required states, helping ensure accurate withholding and audit-ready records for every worker.

Key benefits include:

• Automatic assignment of official state tax forms based on worker and project location
• Forms kept up to date through our compliance partner
• Secure storage of signed documents for audits and record-keeping

That means fewer compliance gaps and more confidence during onboarding.

Paid sick-leave policies for union workers

Union sick-leave rules vary by agreement—and tracking them manually can be complex. Wrapbook now supports agreement-specific paid sick-leave policies for union productions, automatically applying the correct rules during project setup.

With this update, you can:

• Assign compliant policies automatically
• Eliminate manual tracking of union-specific requirements
• Stay compliant across IATSE, Teamsters, DGA, and SAG-AFTRA
  
  

It’s a simpler, more reliable way to manage union sick leave.

Coming soon: Timecards designed for production payroll

We’re also building a clearer, more flexible timecard experience designed around how production payroll actually works.

What’s coming:

• A familiar grid-based view for faster navigation
• Inline editing for coding and allowances
• Support for multiple timecards per worker
• Flexible batching to organize and process payroll without starting over

These improvements are all about closing payroll faster, fixing issues more easily, and keeping things moving—even when changes happen mid-cycle.

Wrapping up

From centralized vendor data to smarter payroll mapping and built-in compliance, January’s updates set the stage for a more streamlined year ahead. And with major timecard improvements on the horizon, there’s more to come.
