Why Now Is the Moment to Fix Your Payroll Workflow

With current economic uncertainty, shortened production timelines, and stricter union enforcement, creative operations are under more pressure than ever. For entertainment producers, that means one thing: if your payroll workflow isn’t streamlined, your budget—and your schedule—are at risk.

The Cost of Delay
Manual onboarding, disconnected payment systems, inefficient production accounting software, and retroactive residual tracking can slow production and cause costly errors. Missed tax incentive requirements or scale rule violations can also lead to legal exposure and lost revenue.

The Case for Streamlining Now
XR Pay helps entertainment production team future-proof their operations by bringing payroll, compliance, and reporting into one centralized system and simplifying things:

  • Contracts and union rates are built in
  • Onboarding is digital, automated, and compliant
  • Residuals and session reports are tracked and forecasted in real time
  • Audit trails are fully accessible across finance, legal, and production

XR Pay isn’t just production accounting software—it’s creative operations control for production accountants, line producers, and studio executives. Whether your production is scaling up—or tightening budgets—now is the time to lock in the systems that keep things moving.
