Platform Fees & Billing
How Greenroom's own platform fee is calculated per payroll run
Greenroom's platform fee is separate from union dues, taxes, and any payee's own pay — it's what your company pays Greenroom for processing a payroll run. The fee depends on both the production's tier and the type of run.
Development-tier productions
Development productions pay a flat $750 per week, with no additional percentage-based charge.
If a Development-tier production runs both a regular payroll and a same-week amendment, confirm with your account contact whether that's billed once per week or once per run before assuming either — this specific case has an open internal question as of this writing.
Regular-tier productions
- Regular payroll runs are subject to the $750 minimum (the "floor") plus your plan's percentage and per-payee charges.
- Off-cycle runs have no floor — you're charged the percentage and $10-per-payee rate only, with no minimum.
Prepay and amendment runs
Two more run types get their own billing treatment, both to avoid double-charging for the same underlying payroll:
- Prepay runs carry no platform fee at all — not the $750 floor, not the percentage charge, not the $10-per-payee charge. A prepay only records payment and taxes for a real future pay period; the payee isn't actually paid through Greenroom at prepay time. The real platform fee bills later, when that period runs for real as a regular payroll — charging a fee on the prepay too would double-bill the same period.
- Amendment runs have no floor — you're charged the percentage and $10-per-payee rate only, the same as an off-cycle run. An amendment corrects a run that's already been paid, and that original run already paid its $750 floor — flooring the amendment again would double-charge for the same payroll.
Who counts toward the per-payee charge
W-2 employees and loan-outs don't count here
Don't add up every payee on the run to estimate this charge — W-2 employees and loan-outs are excluded from the $10-per-payee count entirely. Their wages instead feed the separate percentage-of-wages charge, not the per-payee charge. Counting them against the $10 rate as well would double-bill their wages under two different charges.
The $10-per-payee charge counts contractors, vendors, one-time payees, and representatives (one charge per agent or manager paid on the run) — there's no exclusion carved out just for reps or single-engagement payments within that group. This applies wherever a per-payee charge applies at all — regular, off-cycle, and amendment runs. Development runs are flat-fee only and prepay runs carry no fee, so neither has a per-payee charge to count against.
