WrapDesk
How it works

Seven steps. You’re in three of them.

The way a careful production office wraps payroll. WrapDesk does the reading, the math and the annotating. You make the calls.

The seven steps

The stepWrapDeskYou
Step 1 of 7Setup
WrapDesk

Reads the call sheets and the budget, builds the complete crew list and makes the signed timesheet link in your company’s own form.

You

Send the call sheets and the budget, and confirm the company’s rules: PH&W %, craft tier, 2nd meal penalty. Then distribute the timesheet link to crew.

Step 2 of 7Collecting
WrapDesk

Reads every timesheet and invoice that comes in and files each as Last, First, in a private folder only Production and WrapDesk can open. Checks the paperwork (SIN, address, HST, job #) and the time (a day not on the call sheet, a short or long day, a missed lunch). Follows up with anyone still missing, by e-mail and text, in your name.

You

Nothing. No chasing, no inbox full of timesheets.

Step 3 of 7Round 1
WrapDesk

Calculates every day and puts it on its budget line. Anything unclear becomes a question for you, with a suggested answer. Then WrapDesk annotates every timesheet, stickers every invoice, and writes the payroll log into your budget, ready to use. Anyone on the call sheet whose timesheet hasn’t come in goes in as an orange estimate.

You

Make the calls: take the suggested answer or write your own. A few minutes, on your phone.

Step 4 of 7Review
WrapDesk

Builds the full Round 1 package, exactly as accounting will get it: your budget with the payroll log written in, the logs, and every annotated timesheet and invoice. You get it first, in your job’s private folder; the target is 24 hours after Round 1 closes.

You

Look it over before accounting sees it: the budget, the logs, the sheets. Say if anything’s off; then it goes to accounting.

Step 5 of 7Round 2
WrapDesk

Takes every timesheet and invoice that came in after Round 1 and processes it the same way: calculated, annotated, and put on its budget line. Each one replaces its orange estimate, and the new rows are green, so accounting sees what changed.

You

Answer the last few questions, if there are any.

Step 6 of 7Review
WrapDesk

WrapDesk builds the Round 2 package the same way and sends it to you first, in your job’s private folder. Anyone still missing stays in orange.

You

Look it over and say when it’s final: now, with orange placeholders for anyone still missing.

Step 7 of 7Final
WrapDesk

WrapDesk builds the final package: every round together in one set of logs, with orange placeholders for anyone who never sent anything, and keeps your company’s rules so the next job starts faster.

You

Nothing. The job’s wrapped.

What reaches accounting

The package is the files themselves, in the folders accounting already knows. Totals are actuals only; anyone still missing is an orange estimate, outside the total. Every package also lands in your job’s folder.
