The way media and event work gets done has changed.

Productions move faster. Crews are more flexible. Freelancers, contractors, and specialized talent come together for short timelines, tight budgets, and high expectations. What hasn't changed is the complexity behind managing that workforce.

Payroll rules. Worker classification. State-by-state compliance. Insurance. Last-minute hires.

That's where PayReel comes in.

PayReel helps media and event organizations manage contingent crews with confidence. We handle onboarding in minutes, payroll with precision, and compliance across every state so your team can scale without slowing down, whether it's a one-day shoot, a national tour, or a multi-city event.

As your Employer of Record, PayReel takes on the administrative and legal responsibility of employment so you can stay focused on the work itself.

Media and event teams face unique workforce challenges. PayReel provides the infrastructure to manage it all.

PayReel acts as the legal employer for your contingent workforce, assuming responsibility for employment compliance and worker classification, payroll processing and tax filings, workers' compensation and insurance coverage, state-by-state labor law requirements, and audit-ready documentation.

This allows media and entertainment teams to engage talent quickly, stay compliant, and reduce risk without building internal HR infrastructure or setting up new entities.

PayReel connects producers, vendors, contractors, and internal teams in one centralized system. From onboarding and approvals to timecards and reporting, everything lives in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.

Media and event teams trust PayReel to support a wide range of project types and production models.
