PAYROLL OR PAYROLLING. WHAT DO THEY MEAN IN ENTERTAINMENT

PAYROLL/LABOR in the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY is what? When you call that labor company in some town in the USA, are you calling a PAYROLL COMPANY or a LABOR COMPANY. What is the difference? Payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries for an employee, wages, bonuses and deductions. A LABOR COMPANY may do payroll, but has the labor you are looking to use and may use a payroll company.

Payroll Company responsibility is making sure the deductions are on the paychecks. Most companies outsource their payroll service. When looking for a payroll service, you will pay around 2 to 3 percent of total payroll costs. If you are a large company, you might even get that outsourced payroll service for 1 percent.

There are many entertainment payroll companies that you can outsource your payroll service to. Cast and Crew, Entertainment Partners and Caps Universal are several names that come to mind. At the end of the day, it is a cheap way of having your payroll done.

You, the company has the contracts with the labor union or organization, you make the call, you deal with the labor, you supply all the safety gear, you fill out all the labor time sheets, you add the hours, pay rates and send to the payroll service total hours and rates per person per day for a week total, you have a person whose sole job is dealing with payroll paperwork. The payroll company added  federal and state taxes to your numbers and send back the total cost for that weeks labor with a 1 to 3 percent markup for each worker.

Now you have all this information, what happens next? You agree to the total payroll cost for that weeks employees payroll and send money to the payroll company. Some payroll companies have the ability to withdraw total payroll costs from your bank account. This is done in two steps. First step is hourly payroll. Second step is all taxes and deductions that are sent to the government.

If you don't have the money in the bank to give the payroll company, the employees don't get paid. The employees are yours, the problems with the employees are yours. Don't hand the employees a paycheck for services rendered as you may have a problem, not the payroll company. The responsibility of the payroll company is to make sure the taxes and deductions are right and paid to the government. If you don't pay the payroll service, they have no responsibility to you or the employees. This is how they charge that 1 to 3 percent.

Doing non-union payroll takes very little time when processing payroll.  Start adding union benefits, benefits in general and the cost starts to increase unless you are giving that payroll company $100,000.00  plus worth of payroll each week. Your hired payroll processing employee does all the work and the payroll company cuts payroll checks. If you have done the payroll wrong and need that paycheck for that employee, that is an extra cost to cut payroll checks out of order. WE AT IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION CAN BE THAT PAYROLL COMPANY, OR ADD A TWIST AND KEEP YOU FROM HIRING THAT PERSON TO PROCESS PAYROLL.

What is a PAYROLLING/LABOR COMPANY?  Look for the next story to come.

BLIZZCON 2010

 Back in October  of 2010, In-House Production, with Production Associates LLC. and the help of IATSE Local 504 of Anaheim California, helped to create one large work force of STAGEHAND LABOR for ONE LARGE EVENT. This was an EVENT that took over the Anaheim Convention Center. THIS WAS AN EVENT OF THE YEAR. This was done with STAGEHANDS taking care of FREIGHT to LIGHTING, AUDIO, VIDEO STAGING AND RIGGING.This event took Hall A, Hall B, Hall C, Hall D and some break-out rooms. What an event. Over 200 PLUS STAGEHANDS working everyday from Truck Loaders, Audio Technician, Video Technician, Fork Operators for the total install. We even took care of the cleaning the halls at the end of this event. ALL PRODUCTION RIGGERS used on the BlizzCon Event were ETCP CERTIFIED. With over 400 Chain Motors hanging holding up over 7000 feet of Truss, Projector and Video Screens hanging over all the 4 halls as well as Speaker Clusters hanging everywhere. There was more Staging, Video and Audio used for this 2 DAY EVENT then in a long time. BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT IS THE COMPANY. Michael Thuney, President of PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES LLC is the person. If you need that Production person that is needed for that not quite a CONVENTION  or  STAGE SHOW, he is the guy. In-House Production on this job had NO injuries, damages that could have added to the install or strike. The Crews worked Great, the Production Teams worked Great, I it was by far a GREAT EVENT. The event was a BIG SUCCESS FOR ALL. THANK YOU MICHAEL THUNEY AND BLIZZCON.

CUSTOM NODES AND FLOOR COVER PLATES

 In-House Production was asked to come up with a system that could be added into the concrete floor with a lift out of over 2000lb of force. The idea was to be able to use for guides and bolt down to the floor anything one could imaging. Three things had to be part of the design.

(1). It had to not rust. Being mounted into the floor, water and cleaning fluid will become part of its dayly life.  (2). It had to be flush to the floor when not in use. This could not be a trip hazard as the Ballroom is used for a number of events. (3). It had to have the center screw able to screw-out. Custom screw plugs can be built for those custom events that requires that different look. This node has a 5/8" threaded hole to except eye bolts. The Node were engineered to meet any city requirment and inspection after being installed. Great Idea with a custom look for that special ballroom floor. 

After driving a scissor lift over and bending the FLOOR POCKET COVERS and not having the water and elect covers not matching with the custom nodes that have been power coaded, something had to be done with the floor pockets. As wit the Nodes, We cam up with custom built FLOOR POCKETS

 WITH HINGED DOORS. We built them from 3/8" plate and added sides to the doors so they coulld not cave in. Painted the same color as the nodes to match the floor as the nodes do, it came out to look as the floor did. We at In-House Production DESIGNED, HAD BUILT AND INSTALLED BOTH THE CUSTOM NODES AND CUSTOM FLOOR PLATE COVERS. For more information on the nodes or floor cover plates, give us a  call at 702-631-4748

CUSTOM LABOR FOR CUSTOM STAIRS

At the end of 2009, before the opening of City Center, In-House Production was given the job of putting together labor to install some FREE STAND CURVED STAIRS as seen in the photo. Show-Canada did the design of the free standing curved stair unit, and then built the stair structure needed in their shop. When it was time to bring the stairs to Vegas, Show-Canada needed some skilled LABOR to get the stairs, from the truck in he basement to the 58th floor. 8 large steel pieces and not one was square, put them on dollies, fit them into the elevator and ride up 58 floors. Get them out of the elevator and down a small hallway and into the room they live at now. Now the fun begins. A big jig saw puzzle that bolts and welds together. A little trimming, a little fitting and the free standing steel stairs are up. Then Gladstone came in and we started it all over. Taking the custom bent brass from the trucks to the 58th floor. In-House Production said good-by to Show-Canada and hello to Gladstone. Our crew was up to the challenge of putting the brass together and giving it that look. A little welding, a little fitting, a little polishing and look what we came up with. A little steel, a little brass and a great photo of the stairs. The owner of Gladstone in the good looking lady on the stairs. In-House had STAGEHAND because of the detail talent, and talented IRONWORKERS welding it all together. Steel and Brass. Show-Canada and Gladstone knew that with the talent In-House was able to put together, made this job a no brainier. STAGEHANDS, IRONWORKERS, Show-Canada's crew and then Gladstone's crew working together. Look what we came up with. What a great look. Within a couple of months, the stairs were on TV. It is in the first 2 minutes of the bachelorette. Check it out at: http://abc.go.com/watch/the-bachelorette/SH556990/VD5568421/week-2-part-2. Hope this works. With labor like this, image what we could do for your labor needs. Your EVENT, PRODUCTION or INSTALL. The sky is the limit. Or is it. I almost forget. We did not do 1 set of stairs. We did 4 sets of stairs in the tower.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Thank you so much for lending us the truck for our Helldorado float. Helldorado Parade was on Saturday May 15th, 2010 at 7pm and went down 4th street to Fremont. The Flamingo Club is a group of Las Vegas locals who own/rent home in the older "historic" districts that include Huntridge, Beverly Green, Scotch 80's and other "vintage" locations. The group is made up of people of all ages but we are all committed to promoting life in Las Vegas. The motto is "Creating Community One Cocktail Party at a time" Basically it is a way to promote getting to know your neighbors rather than living in a neighborhood where people are disconnected from the people around them. Some of the members are "old timers" in fact one of them Randy went to high school with my Dad in the 60's - they had an interesting conversation about the teachers at old Las Vegas High School (LVHS). Others are pretty recent transplants. We couldn't have had a float without In-House Production and the use of the flatbed truck.

Thank you
Liz.

CONGRATULATIONS AMEY

 We have to say CONGRATULATIONS to AMEY ROSALES for taking and passing the OSHA TRAIN THE TRAINER CLASS.
The U.S DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AMEY C ROSALES IS NOW A OSHA AUTHORIZED CONSTRUTION TRAINER.
   "CONGRATULATIONS"
After many hours of class room and having her head in the books, it paid off. Amey can conduct the 10 - hour and 30 - hour Construction course in accordance with Outreach Training Program guidelines. This fits with all the training she does with Forklifts, Scissor lifts, and Boom lifts. Amey is also the safety director of In-House Production. She works to keep all our stagehand workers safe on all our jobs.

CLIMBING TOWER TRUSS SYSTEM

How about a 30' x 30' x 26' tall truss tower system temporally installed inside your building so you have something to hang lights from.  But you have no rigging points in the ceiling to hang this 30' x 30' aluminum stage truss from. You need truss to hang light from to light that main stage boxing ring for that big fight night. You need an IDEA. Call In-House Production and have them bring out and install their Tower Leg Climbing Truss System. With the use of their Pro-Lifter, they can stand that tower system safely with a only a couple of crew members. That 30' x 30' x 24' trim height was no problem for In-House Production. Lighting the fighters for the crowd makes a great show. We at In-House Production also supplied all the rigging hardware to hang speakers, and with our Rental Box of Banner Poles / Clic-Pipe and Banner Clamps, they were able to hang all the advertisement Banners all over the room. What a great income bust.

LAS VEGAS CHILDREN FESTIVAL

When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department called and asked for a small staging plaform for a party they were throwing in the park, how do or even why would you say no. A party in the park and it was a FREE party in the park for the kids festival. FREE FOOD AND DRINKS, ENTERTAINMENT, CLOWNS, FACE PAINTING AND MUSIC.  We at In-House Production were glad to gave and installed a 20' x 20' platform 2' high right in the middle of the park. We were glad to be able to help with this festival, and hope that we get a call to help LVMPD with a stage or anything we might have to help them help the neighborhood.

Giving back a little to the city of Las Vegas. We like it......

We took 3 runs of aluminum 20.5” truss, set in on large rolling dollies, built this large light grid on top of the trussing, wired it for lighting and sound, hung chain motors from the ceiling and to the trussing, then lifted it into place, bolted it into the building and lowered the truss out from under the the grid and took the chain motors away. This is a perfect rigging job for theatrical riggers. We didn’t do this just one time. No. We do this over and over.

This all started with bringing in some of the top ironworkers in Las Vegas to install I-Beams to hang light grid points from for this permanent lighting grid. Bring in 9 truckloads of bolt together steel boxes to make the light grid, and then create not one, but several grids. Add custom lighting and audio to the light grids, wire them up, add rigging hang points to hang chain motors from and you have a very usefull light grid that can be used to hang conventions, events or shows.

We at In-House Production can supply all your theatrical labor needs from Riggers to Electricians to whatever your show labor needs are. We are able to do that small show with 2 techs to that 100 plus tech show with everyone working in controlled chaos. If you have done any time on a show, you know what controlled chaos is. In-House Production is the place for install labor.
