How to create a new Project

So! You've activated your TiM Company Account and completed your Company Info. Maybe you've built some Custom Forms and packets within your Company Library. Great job! Now it's time to Create a Project!

Step 1. Create a new Project

• From your Company dashboard, click "Create Production". This will take you to New Production Info (see step 2). 

Step 2. Complete New Production Info

• Within New Production Info, enter all the information for your Project.

NOTE: Every time you create a new Project in TiM, you will be prompted to complete Production Info for that Project. The information entered here should pertain to this particular Project, and will used by TiM to pre-populate onto the Startwork packets for this Project.

Production Information:

By default, the name of your TiM Company Account will appear in the Production Company name field. If a subsidiary company name should appear on Startwork packets, simply delete the default company name and enter the name of the subsidiary.

Production Office Address:

This should be the address of your Project's production office, not the address of the Production Company.

For example: The production office address for "Star Wars: A New Hope" would not be the address for LucasFilm. 

Startwork Point Person: 

Payroll Company / Employer of Record:

If you are a Media Services client, your Payroll Company/ Employer of Record information can be entered and stored within Company Information, so when you create a new Project, you can just click "Copy from Company Info" to complete this section. 

If you are not a Media Services client, be sure to complete your Payroll Company information:

Payroll Company Name:

This is the Payroll Company/EOR name that will appear throughout Startwork documents including on the WTPA notice(s) for CA and NY Projects. 

Payroll Coordinator or Paymaster Email Address:

Your Payroll Coordinator or Paymaster is the person provided by the Payroll Company who receives payroll-related Startwork documents and processes your production's payroll. 

You can enter multiple email addresses into this field, by separating each email address with a comma (Ex: payroll1@hellotim.com, payroll2@hellotim.com). 

These email addresses will be suggested to you when you send Startwork documents to payroll, making that process even quicker. 

Pick Up Code for Payroll Coord/Paymaster:

Your Payroll Coordinator or Paymaster will need to enter a Pick Up Code to download any Startwork sent from TiM, so be sure to enter your Pick Up Code and share it with any people expecting to download your Project's completed Startwork via TiM.

NOTE: Media Services clients do not need to use nor have access to this Pick Up Code functionality.

Your Pick Up Code can be anything you want, though we suggest not reusing the same Code from one Project to the next. 

Payroll Company Address:

This is the address of your Payroll Company (not the Production Office address, and not the Production Company address). 

• At the bottom of the screen, click "Save".
