PAYROLL SOLUTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF PRODUCTIONS.
Why PPS?

Are you paying your talent, crew, production staff or office staff as independent contractors on a 1099? You could be risking a lot. If you classify an employee as an independent contractor and you have no reasonable basis for doing so, you may be held liable for employment taxes for that worker. In 2012, the state of California changed it law to create significant penalties for employers who willfully misclassify workers, and fail to withhold taxes, and pay into the Worker Compensation system.

We become the employer of record and so we take care of income tax withholding for all jurisdictions. We remit those taxes to the appropriate agency and remit all required records and reports.
Taxes
If you hire someone, even for a day, that person can file for unemployment. Multiple unemployment claims can increase your unemployment insurance rates. As the employer of record, PPS takes on that liability and the accompanying paperwork.


Injuries on the set and even in the editing room can be costly and time consuming. PPS carries full worker’s compensation insurance on everyone we pay as an employee. Any injury claims are handled by our staff and our industry leading insurance carrier.

Digital Onboarding
Determining the appropriate tax with holding forms, and other paperwork, distributing it to your team, collecting the completed documents, verifying employment eligibility via the I9 form and getting it all to payroll is entirely too time consuming. PPS utilizes digital onboarding for all start paperwork, including employment eligibility via the federal E-verify system. Onboarding can even be customized to your needs for project specific documents, like NDAs and releases. Our process is easily completed via any internet connected device with no app needed. Data is secured with bank-grade 256-bit AES encryption.
