Known Gaps
Functionality that isn't built yet, so nobody assumes it exists
Read this before assuming a capability exists
Everything on this page is genuinely not built — this isn't a documentation gap, it's a product gap. If you need one of these for a real production, confirm current status with your Greenroom contact before committing to a timeline.
Garnishments, child support orders, and IRS levies
There is currently no UX for entering or honoring a court-ordered wage garnishment, child support order, or IRS levy. If a payee has one of these, it cannot yet be properly processed through Greenroom. The approach has been decided (a Garnishment Orders tab on the payee profile, with deductions routed through CheckHQ), but it has not been built yet.
A raw "Garnishment" line does exist today in Role & Pay's Deductions section — don't mistake this for the workflow above. It's a manually-entered dollar amount with no order tracking, no priority enforcement, no withholding-limit calculation, and no auto-termination when an order is satisfied. Using it for a real garnishment risks over- or under-withholding with no system safeguard against either.
Year-end close
There is no producer-facing trigger, audit trail, or checklist for year-end filings (1099-MISC, W-2, W-3, state annuals) yet. The approach has been decided (an early-January auto-trigger with a 7-day producer review window, digital delivery by default with an optional mailed copy routed through CheckKeeper), but it has not been built yet.
Multi-state payroll
Launch scope is confirmed as single-state (New York) only, and this is now enforced in code, not just planning: Greenroom stores exactly one workplace per company, and a second state's tax registrations can never actually materialize with it, so the state field is locked to NY at both the form and the server action, deliberately, rather than left as a UI-only restriction someone could work around. Multi-state is planned for a later phase with no committed date yet. If a production tours or otherwise needs multi-state withholding, reciprocity handling, or state-by-state filings, confirm current status before proceeding — this is not yet built.
Fee, advance, and royalty-based compensation (SDC / USA 829) — partly built
This one moved. The recording half shipped on 2026-08-14: you can now record an SDC director's or USA 829 designer's fee and advance on their record, record payments the production has already made against them, and see the agreement's own milestone schedule and the remaining balance on each obligation. See Fees, Advances & Royalties.
What is still not built:
- Greenroom does not disburse any of it. Every payment recorded is a record of money the production moved itself. There is no path for Greenroom to pay a fee installment.
- The weekly royalty minimum is not priced from the deal. It is applied on the payroll run against the union's rate table like any other union minimum.
- A second contract for the same payee cannot be recorded separately. Obligations are identified per payee, not per contract.
- Whether a 1099-MISC dollar may be posted to Check at all is an open question with the vendor, so nothing here changes how a MISC payment is routed today.
Union initiation contributions — built, and worth knowing where
An SDC contract's one-time Health and Pension at signing used to have nowhere to live and were silently billed at $0. That is fixed — see Union Obligations.
Two limits are deliberate rather than pending: Greenroom never detects a signing (a general manager confirms and dates each milestone), and these obligations do not appear on the printed union remittance, because the agreements don't say which report they belong on and guessing would change what physically leaves the building.
