Payroll & HR by production experts.

 

We are a team of former producers, number nerds, industry experts, and business managers. With collective on-set experience that spans multiple decades, we understand the industry's culture, nuances, and fast-paced timeframes.

We built OOTB Solutions specifically for the production industry. Our services are simple, customizable, and focused on concierge service instead of automated platforms. As the employer of record for our clients’ project-based workers, we also assume the liabilities and responsibilities of being an employer.

Payroll that keeps you and your workforce compliant.

Working with OOTB Solutions ensures that your team is properly classified and paid in accordance with the appropriate wage and hour laws. This is essential to protect both you and your business partners.

With new labor laws, such as California’s AB5, being adopted across the country, it is more important than ever to have a payroll partner who understands the complexities of labor codes within the context of the creative production industry. Misclassifying crew and talent can have devastating financial consequences.
