Sessions Payroll Inc. - Hollywood, Los Angeles
Sessions Payroll is an established Hollywood payroll service, in business since 1985 and a market leader in the movie extra payroll business.

Payroll volume runs at approximately 10,000 checks per week for movie extras working all over the united states, for a number of large production companies and movie studio’s.

Each production company has its own needs in terms of pay rules and up to the minute reporting they require. Also, each state has different tax structures, so Sessions needed a system which could accommodate the volume while also cutting down on human error.

The system could process more payroll because data could be entered directly over the web the each day, with invoices generated automatically, hence lowering costs while paying people faster.

With large customers like HBO and over 45,000 extra’s paid, this solution enabled Sessions to become a leading movie extra payroll service. Payroll is entered via an easy-to-use time-clock entry system, and production companies are able to track costs real-time via the web.

CustomerTestimonial
I want to say a word about Framework Solutions.

Some years ago, my company began to grow at an alarming rate. We found that we needed new software to keep up with the increasing demands from our clients. We turned to Framework Solutions and through their efforts in helping us to design and implement scalable custom software that integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP, our operational costs were reduced, we became more efficient, and we were able to keep up with continuing growth. Consequently, we pulled ahead of our competition in Movie payroll Services.

For those companies who are in similar need of effective software solutions, I highly recommend Framework Solutions.
