Open Range was tired of wasting time on payroll.

Before California passed the AB5 legislation, payroll rules were different. During a project or shoot, all you had to do was 1099 the workers, and that was that.

But now things have changed.

Because Open Range collaborates with an ever-growing number of creatives and technicians, the team is constantly parsing out contractors from employees.

With California’s recent employee classification updates, it’s become even more important to correctly identify each worker—not to mention fill out the appropriate paperwork.

Payroll became a significant part of Matt’s work. Open Range now needed a way to ensure employee compliance without wasting too much time on it.

“The biggest thing with us was ease of use with Wrapbook. It’s convenient for us because we’re not spending all this time tracking people down."

Open Range began in the print world and has since branched out to digital content -TV commercials and the like. Matt mentions that as the company continues to grow, he’s looking forward to tackling bigger projects such as narrative features, documentaries, and short films.

As the company expands, so will their payroll demands. And now, Open Range can rely on Wrapbook to handle those demands--- quickly, correctly, and conveniently, giving Matt and his colleagues the time and energy to keep their sights on more creative opportunities.
