Grippa handles union rates, meal penalties, kit fees, and 14-hour turnarounds across every state your production accidentally shot in — before the wrap party ends.
Turnaround, golden hours, and forced calls calculate themselves. Your 2nd AD stops doing spreadsheet math at 2am and your accountant stops crying at 3am.
IATSE, DGA, WGA, SAG-AFTRA, Teamsters — rate tables, fringes, and pension/health caps stay current so you don't audit yourself into a coma.
Loan-outs, incentives, and residency rules across 30 jurisdictions reconcile per production. We do the withholding gymnastics, you take the credit.
Digital start paperwork, I-9s, and deal memos that crew actually finish because it's not a 40-page PDF from 2004.
Hot costs and Hollywood-format cost reports export straight to your production accounting stack — no re-keying, no vibes-based estimates.
Every rate decision, edit, and approval is stamped and searchable, so the post-strike wage audit is a Tuesday, not an event.
“We wrapped a 62-day episodic across three states and nobody rage-quit accounting. Grippa closed the payroll week before I finished my coffee — which, for context, was a large.”
“Our old payroll house billed us for the privilege of losing a timecard. Grippa's usage pricing means we pay for actual crew weeks, not a vendor's boat payment.”
“Meal penalty disputes used to eat a full day per week. Now the numbers just show up correct, which is somehow more unsettling than the chaos was.”
Start free-ish. Upgrade when it hurts.
For features, commercials, and shoots that end before you go feral.
For episodic and slate volume where the weeks add up fast.
For studios and networks running many productions at once.
