# myCrewIQ: Complete Platform Documentation

> myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from trade shows, conventions and live events into payroll-ready records that the customer reviews, approves and imports into its own payroll system, with union contribution reports and a live labor budget from the same record.

The site at https://mycrewiq.com is a homepage and six pages: The Problem (https://mycrewiq.com/the-problem), Test Drive (https://mycrewiq.com/test-drive), Live Labor Budget (https://mycrewiq.com/live-labor-budget), New-Hire Onboarding (https://mycrewiq.com/new-hire-onboarding), Founder (https://mycrewiq.com/founder) and FAQ (https://mycrewiq.com/faq). The homepage headline is "Paper sign-in sheets in. Payroll files out. Nothing changes on the show floor." and its subline is "Scan your current timesheets. Check any messy handwriting right beside the original scan, approve, and export straight to ADP, Paychex, or Gusto."

This file holds the core platform description followed by the full text of every myCrewIQ topic file. The topic files name real unions, venues, contractors, payroll systems and shows only to describe the work; myCrewIQ is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or integrated with any of them. myCrewIQ, LLC is based in Huntington Beach, California; its founder is Dakota "Cody" Burandt.

## 1. Capture and reading

Crews keep signing in on paper, on their own sign-in sheets or on the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet. A supervisor photographs each sheet with a phone browser. Once the supervisor has signed in and opened the show with signal, photos taken without signal wait on the phone and send when the connection returns, while the page stays open. The office can also upload photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo; pages from other sheets are photographed and their lines entered beside the photo. A value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Problems are grouped by cause, so one answer can clear many lines. On Test Show #1, a staged benchmark built in-house (7 handwritten sign-in sheets, 91 crew lines, 6 show days; real handwriting, fictional crew; scored 30 August 2026), initial extraction showed 97.53% field agreement: 791 of 811 populated cells were unchanged after human review against a reviewed answer key. 19 of the 20 corrections were errors on the paper itself, not misreadings of it. These are figures for one show, not a general accuracy claim.

## 2. Union agreements as rule sets

A customer's union agreement or company pay policy becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms before it applies to a show. From each line's IN, OUT and meal times the rule set checks the straight time (S/T), overtime (O/T) and double time (D/T) split, the rate for the work date, minimum call and meal penalties, and raises any difference from the written figures as a question citing the clause. It never changes a written figure, a rate or gross pay by itself; where an agreement is silent, ambiguous or in conflict, the question goes to the customer. Each show is set up as union, non-union or mixed.

## 3. Payroll files, contribution reports and the labor budget

myCrewIQ produces a universal payroll import file and column layouts for ADP Workforce Now, RUN Powered by ADP, Paychex Flex and Gusto; each vendor layout is labelled unconfirmed until it has been test-imported into the customer's own payroll account. An employee without a payroll ID is listed for review, never guessed. The Show Workbook keeps live formulas so anyone can audit the math. Contribution reports for Pension, Health & Welfare and Training Trust funds are prepared from the confirmed rule set, by show or for a calendar month of approved shows; myCrewIQ remits nothing. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show as sheets are read and reviewed, and figures stay provisional until the batch is approved; on the site this is the Live Labor Budget Tool, a plan add-on.

The New-Hire Onboarding Tool is the second plan add-on. The office drags and drops W-4s, I-9s and employee information packets into it and gets an import-ready new-hire file for the customer's own payroll system in minutes. Formats vary by payroll provider, so the customer sends its provider's new-hire import template for the file to be built to match, then test-imports one file before relying on it. It does not assign employee IDs: the payroll provider assigns them once that file is imported, the customer adds them to the roster it uploads to the console, and that is how payroll lines are matched.

## 4. Approval, privacy and pricing

A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final, and every approval records who approved. Approval is sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint of the approved figures, and any pay-relevant edit after approval cancels it. myCrewIQ never connects to or submits to a payroll, tax, banking or fund system. Social Security numbers never enter the system; crew are identified by a payroll or company ID. Connections use HTTPS and data is stored in the United States. myCrewIQ does not use customer sheets, rates or payroll data to train AI models. myCrewIQ is priced around the payroll workflow, not the number of workers on the floor.

## Live Labor Budget for Trade Show and Live Event Crews

myCrewIQ gives event labor contractors a live labor budget: each show's planned crew labor against actual and forecast cost, as sign-in sheets are read and reviewed.

On trade show installation and dismantle (I&D) work and live event calls, crew hours are often written by hand on paper sign-in sheets. When those sheets are keyed only after the job closes, an install that ran long or a crew larger than planned shows up after the money is spent. Overtime and double time raise the cost of every extra hour, and each local's agreement sets its own windows for them.

In myCrewIQ the Live Labor Budget Tool has four tabs. Projections: the calls as projected, by phase and class, typed the way the floor says them (people × hours each, with the straight-time, overtime and double-time split per person) and priced from the show's rate card; material handling (advance and on-site freight) and pre-show office hours have their own lines; a confirmed projection is versioned. Actuals: one row per day per class from the sign-in sheets (heads, hours by band, hours paid), typed or imported from a payroll CSV. Analytics: projected next to actual for every scheduled day, with the difference and a status word against a threshold of 5% unless changed, the days worked so far, the days still to come, the whole show against the forecast (actual to date plus the projection for each day not worked yet), and how many men the remaining budget affords for the next scheduled day, with every input printed so it can be checked on paper. Post-Show: revenue, projected and final labor, gross margin against the projected margin, by phase and by class, printed as the close-out report. Loaded cost is wages plus supervision markup, fringe from the rate card and reimbursements; nothing is sent by email or text.

- Phases: each scheduled day carries one phase, as the show defines them (floor work, booth work, show, dismantle, other).
- A line: 8 men at 8 hours is 64 hours, split 4 straight / 4 overtime / 0 double the way the agreement pays it; a start and end time can do the split from the agreement's windows.
- Next-day call: the result reads "Cut N", "Room for N" or "On plan"; cost per man-day comes from the days worked so far, or from the plan before any day is worked.
- Loaded cost: wages + supervision markup + fringe + reimbursements. Employer taxes and workers' compensation are not included.
- Also shown: hours burn by day (projected, actual, forecast), labor as a percentage of revenue, the ledger by phase and class, CSV exports.
- Scope: the budget works by show, phase, day and class. Crew are counts, never names. It does not carry booth numbers, exhibitors or general-ledger cost centers.

## Live Labor Budget Worked Example: Tomorrow's Crew Call, Priced Tonight

A fictional seven-day trade show run through the myCrewIQ Live Labor Budget, showing how projected labor, actual hours from sign-in sheets and tomorrow's affordable crew size fit together.

Event labor is sold on a fixed number and worked by the hour, so the question every night of a show is how many people tomorrow's call can afford. The Live Labor Budget answers it from the same reviewed sign-in sheets that feed payroll. The site's worked example is the Heartland Building Systems Expo 2026 in Chicago, Saturday Nov 7 to Friday Nov 13: one electrical crew, revenue of $228,250, priced on a mock agreement with a 4-hour minimum call and double time outside 8:00 to 4:30. The show, the crew, the agreement and every figure are made up.

- Projection: calls are typed the way the floor says them, people times hours with the straight, overtime and double-time split. 573 hours and $67,451 loaded cost across floor work, booth work, show service and dismantle.
- Actuals: one row per day per class from the sheets. Tuesday ran $357 over when a trouble call brought in a third wireman at the 4-hour minimum; Wednesday came in $896 under.
- Wednesday night, 5 of 7 days worked: $39,954 spent, forecast $66,405, $1,045 under the projection.
- Tomorrow's call: 18 men planned for the dismantle night, 21 affordable, so the screen reads Room for 3.
- The math: remaining budget $27,496.44, loaded cost per man-day $998.86 over 40 man-days, tomorrow's share $21,535.87 (in proportion to the plan of every open day), divided by cost per man-day is 21.56, rounded down to 21.
- Close-out: $60,640 final labor and 547.5 hours, $6,810 (10.1%) under; gross margin $167,610, labor 26.6% of revenue.

Loaded cost is wages plus fringe, supervision markup and reimbursements where they apply. Status reads over or under beyond a 5% threshold, which is a setting.

## Streamline Payroll by Reading Handwritten Sign-In Sheets

myCrewIQ helps event labor contractors streamline payroll: each handwritten crew sign-in sheet is captured once and becomes payroll-ready records a person checks and approves.

On many show sites, crews sign in on paper: name, class, IN, lunch and OUT times, with the foreman's S/T, O/T and D/T hours and a total for the page. The payroll office then keys every line into a spreadsheet, and often keys the same hours again for the payroll file and each report. Each re-keying is a chance to drop a line, misread a time or carry a math error into payroll.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs, a whole stack at once. The myCrewIQ sign-in sheet is printed for machine reading. A vision model reads each myCrewIQ sign-in sheet page; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times less lunch and with the foreman's total boxes, and problems are grouped by cause, so one question can answer many lines. A company's own sheets can be photographed too; their lines are keyed by hand beside the photo, because machine reading is built for the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet only. Payroll files, the Show Workbook and the labor budget's actuals come from that one record, and so do contribution reports once a confirmed rule set is linked to the show.

- myCrewIQ sign-in sheet columns: #, NAME, IN, LUNCH, OUT, S/T, O/T, D/T, TRAVEL, PARK/REIMB, RATE, CLASS and LAY-OFF on 20 crew lines, with header boxes such as job number, show name, location and date, and TOTAL HOURS boxes. It has no employee-ID or booth column.
- Confidence: the model's confidence is only a hint of where to look first; it never approves a value or clears its mark.
- Page check: a person can mark a whole page "Checked page against the photo" in one step; approving with values still unchecked takes acknowledging their exact count, which the approval records.
- Ask the foreman: the console writes the question and hands it to the reviewer's own email or text app; no server sends it.
- Weak signal: once a supervisor has signed in and opened the show with a signal, photos taken after the signal drops wait on the phone and send when it returns, while the page is open and the supervisor is signed in.
- Approval: a batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. Approval is sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint of the approved figures, and any pay-relevant edit after approval cancels it.

## The Show Workbook: Dashboard, Weekly Summary and Payroll Tabs for One Show

myCrewIQ generates one Excel workbook per show from the approved sign-in sheets: a dashboard, a detail tab, a weekly summary by crew member, a validation tab and the payroll layouts, every figure computed from the same record.

The Show Workbook is the file a contractor keeps for the show after payroll is done. It is generated by the console once a batch is approved, and every tab is built from the same approved lines, so the dashboard, the weekly summary and the payroll files cannot disagree with each other. Its tabs:

- Dashboard: gross wages, total hours, total labor cost; the hours breakdown (straight time, overtime, double time); labor by phase (install, show, dismantle); the labor cost breakdown with reimbursements; a daily snapshot of crew, hours and cost per day; and a repeat-show block that compares this year with last year's figures when a prior show is linked.
- Show Info: job number, show name, venue and hall, workforce and local, the week's dates, crew size, and the pay rules and rates the figures were computed under.
- Detail: one line per worker per day with class, rate and the S/T, O/T and D/T hours as written and reviewed, plus the page the line came from.
- Weekly Summary: one row per crew member for the week with class, base rate, hours by type, pay by type, reimbursements and the total, the way a payroll clerk reads it.
- Validation: each day's box totals against the computed totals, so a sheet whose foreman wrote 80 hours while the lines add to 78 is caught before the file goes out.
- Payroll tabs: the universal import, plus the layouts named for ADP Workforce Now, ADP RUN, Paychex Flex and Gusto.

The Test Drive page (https://mycrewiq.com/test-drive) shows sample payroll reports on a fictional crew: a weekly summary by crew member (five crew members, 210 hours, $14,044.86 gross) and the first lines of a payroll import file. It also shows sample monthly contribution reports for three benefit funds that tie out to the same 4,478 approved hours.

## Pricing: Per Account, Not Per Worker

myCrewIQ is priced per account with a yearly pool of sign-in sheets, never per employee per month, so a crew of 40 or 400 costs the same to keep in the system.

Most workforce and payroll software bills per employee per month. That model punishes event labor contractors, whose crews swell for a week-long show and then go quiet, and whose rosters carry hundreds of people who work a few calls a year. myCrewIQ bills the account instead: a monthly plan with a yearly pool of sheets, where one sheet is one sign-in sheet of up to 20 workers for one day. Busy months and slow months even out across the year, crew in the system cost nothing whether they work or not, and the customer is told before any overage.

- Starter: $199 a month, 300 sheets a year, 1 user, setup help by email and phone. For small shops running a few shows a year.
- Essentials: $499 a month, 900 sheets a year, 3 users, a guided setup call in which the pay rules are set up with the customer. For mid-size contractors running 2 to 4 shows a month.
- Pro: $1,500 a month, 3,000 sheets a year, unlimited users, pay rules set up with the customer, custom reports and a payroll-blocking support line. For regional contractors with big peak months.
- Enterprise: custom volume pricing, unlimited users, custom reports, response times set in the agreement. For national, multi-city contractors.
- Extra sheets: $8 each beyond the yearly pool, with a heads-up first.
- Live Labor Budget add-on: $99 a month on Starter, $249 on Essentials, $499 on Pro, set in the agreement on Enterprise.
- New-Hire Onboarding add-on: $149 a month on Starter with 200 new hires a year, $349 on Essentials with 600, $599 on Pro with 1,200, set in the agreement on Enterprise. Extra packets are $10 each ($8 on Pro).
- Founding-customer pricing is locked for 12 months.

Every plan includes payroll import files and contribution reports. The customer approves each batch and imports the file into its own payroll provider; myCrewIQ sits in front of the payroll provider, not in place of it.

## Onboarding, New Hires, Form I-9 and E-Verify: Where myCrewIQ Fits

The New-Hire Onboarding Tool, a plan add-on, turns W-4s, I-9s and employee information packets into an import-ready new-hire file for the employer's own payroll system; it does not assign employee IDs.

On trade show and live event jobs, crews are often called on short notice through union hiring halls or referral lists, so a sign-in sheet can list someone on their first day. Each new hire still goes through the employer's own onboarding, and payroll systems need the worker set up before hours import: RUN Powered by ADP, for example, does not import pay data for an employee who does not yet exist in that payroll.

The New-Hire Onboarding Tool, a plan add-on, takes the paper packets (W-4s, I-9s, direct deposit, emergency contact and deductions) by drag and drop and returns an import-ready new-hire file for the employer's own payroll system in minutes; it does not assign employee IDs. Social Security numbers never enter the system, and E-Verify cases and state new-hire reports both need one, so those steps stay in the employer's own HR and payroll systems. Nothing detects a Social Security number written on a page, so no page sent to myCrewIQ should carry one. Once that file is imported, the payroll provider assigns each employee ID; the customer adds the IDs to its console roster, and that is how payroll lines are matched. Crews keep signing the paper sheet, and myCrewIQ turns it into payroll-ready hours keyed to that ID. An employee without a payroll ID is listed for review, never guessed: a same-day hire with no ID yet appears on that list with the ID cell blank, so the office can settle it before importing.

- Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification: the employee completes Section 1 no later than the first day of employment, and the employer completes Section 2 within three business days of hire. If the job lasts less than three business days, Section 2 is due at the time of hire, which matters for one-day show calls.
- E-Verify: a free, internet-based federal service that compares Form I-9 information with records available to the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. It is voluntary for most employers; some federal contracts and some states require it. A participating employer creates each case no later than the third business day after the employee starts work for pay, even for a one- or two-day job.
- Form W-4, the Employee's Withholding Certificate, sets federal income tax withholding; many states have their own certificate.
- New-hire reporting: employers report new and rehired employees to the state where they work within 20 days of hire, sooner in some states.

Related terms: new hire onboarding, show-site new hires, onboarding paperwork, new hire packet, I-9 Section 2, new hire reporting, day-of-show hires, union referral

## Importing Payroll: the Universal Payroll Import CSV and Vendor Layouts

myCrewIQ turns reviewed crew sign-in sheets into payroll import files, a universal CSV plus layouts named for common payroll systems, that the customer imports itself.

Importing payroll for show crews means turning a week of handwritten sheets into one file the payroll system accepts. Most systems key a row on their own employee ID and expect the company's own earnings codes or pay items. RUN Powered by ADP matches each row by its Employee ID or an Employee Time Clock ID the employer assigns. ADP Workforce Now paydata rows begin with the company code, batch ID and file number. Paychex Flex's Standard Payroll Import uses a Client ID and a Worker ID and must be switched on by Paychex.

myCrewIQ produces a universal payroll import file and column layouts for ADP Workforce Now, RUN Powered by ADP, Paychex Flex and Gusto. The universal CSV's columns are defined by myCrewIQ: one row per employee per pay week for each class and rate, with regular, overtime and double time hours and pay. Each vendor layout carries a label such as "Paychex Flex layout — not confirmed with your Paychex account"; test-import one file before relying on it. Earnings codes are the customer's own, entered in Show setup, and for now are kept on the browser that entered them. An employee without a payroll ID is listed for review, never guessed. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final; files made before approval are marked DRAFT. myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to a payroll system; the customer imports the file under its own authority.

- Universal CSV columns: Employee ID, Last Name, First Name, Pay Period Start, Pay Period End, Class, Rate, Regular, Overtime and Double Time Hours, Regular, Overtime and Double Time Pay, Reimbursement and Needs ID.
- Pay: vendor files carry hours and reimbursements, and most carry the rate; the payroll system computes the pay. The universal CSV also carries the pay myCrewIQ computed.
- Hours: the written S/T, O/T and D/T, as reviewed, are what the file carries. A confirmed rule set checks the split and raises any difference as a question; it never changes a written figure by itself.
- Show Workbook: an .xlsx with Dashboard, Show Info, Detail, Weekly Summary, payroll import and Validation tabs; it keeps live formulas so anyone can audit the math in the spreadsheet.
- Not in the files: taxes, withholding, net pay, general-ledger entries or cost-center coding. Cost-center and job-number columns in some layouts are left blank.

## Gusto Payroll Import for Trade Show and Live Event Crews

myCrewIQ prepares a Gusto layout of a show's reviewed crew hours, split into regular, overtime and double overtime per employee per pay week, for the employer to upload in Gusto.

Gusto lets an admin fill in a payroll by uploading a spreadsheet or CSV: under Pay, Run payroll, the Import payroll data button. Gusto then shows the column mapping and the row matches for the admin to review before anything is imported. Gusto keeps regular hours, overtime (1.5x) and double overtime (2x) in separate buckets, so the split has to be settled before the file is built. Reimbursements are a separate payment type from wages.

On trade show and live event jobs the split comes from the foreman's written S/T, O/T and D/T on each line, and each local's agreement sets its own overtime and double-time windows. myCrewIQ captures each sheet once, and a confirmed rule set checks each line's split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. The Gusto layout writes one row per employee per pay week for each class and rate and leaves absent amounts blank, never 0. It is labelled "Gusto layout — not confirmed with your Gusto account", and the console marks every column as myCrewIQ's best reading rather than one Gusto documents; test-import one file before relying on it. myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to Gusto; the employer uploads and reviews the file in Gusto under its own authority.

- Columns: first and last name, Employee ID, the pay week's dates, regular, overtime and double overtime hours, reimbursement, pay rate and a note.
- Employee ID: the employee's payroll ID from the crew roster or the sheet line. Anyone without one keeps their name, the ID cell stays blank, and they are listed for review, never guessed. Social Security numbers never enter myCrewIQ.
- Two pay rates in one week: one row per rate with the rate named; the export notes ask the employer to check such a crew member after the import.
- Reimbursement: travel and parking written on the sheet, at face value. How a payment is treated for tax is the employer's decision.
- Approval: a batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final; files made before approval are marked DRAFT.

## Paychex Payroll from Handwritten Crew Sign-In Sheets

myCrewIQ turns handwritten event crew sign-in sheets into approved hours and a file in its Paychex Flex layout, for payroll staff who import it into Paychex themselves.

Paychex Flex is Paychex's payroll, time and HR platform. Paychex says it handles direct deposit, tax filings and pay stubs and manages tax withholding and remittance for every state where a client's employees work. On the show floor, though, a crew called for install, show or dismantle signs a paper sheet, the foreman writes the S/T, O/T and D/T hours, and someone in the office keys every line again before importing payroll. Each re-typed line is a chance for a mistake to reach a paycheck.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo, and a value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. myCrewIQ's layout for the Paychex Flex Standard Payroll Import (SPI) is labelled "Paychex Flex layout — not confirmed with your Paychex account": test-import one file before relying on it. Time-clock vendors' guides note that Paychex client support must switch on SPI for the account first. The customer imports the file under its own authority; myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to Paychex.

- Taxes, withholding, direct deposit and pay stubs stay in Paychex; myCrewIQ computes no tax and touches no bank account.
- Each row carries the payroll ID entered for the sheet line or taken from the crew roster, which for Paychex Flex should be the Worker ID. An employee without one is listed for review, never guessed. Social Security numbers never enter the system.
- Health & Welfare, Pension and Training Trust contribution reports are prepared from a confirmed rule set, by show or for a calendar month of approved shows; myCrewIQ remits nothing.
- The Paychex layout is built for Paychex Flex; for any other system there is the universal payroll import CSV, whose columns myCrewIQ defines.

## Paychex Flex Standard Payroll Import (SPI) Files for Crew Hours

myCrewIQ prepares a file in its Paychex Flex Standard Payroll Import (SPI) layout from approved crew sign-in sheets, for payroll staff who import it themselves.

Paychex Flex can import pay data from a file through the Payroll Center, under More Options. Time-clock vendors' guides to the format say Paychex client support must first switch on the Standard Payroll Import (SPI) for the account. In those guides, each SPI line names the company by its Paychex Client ID, the worker by the Worker ID shown under People in Paychex Flex, and a pay component that must match a pay item already set up in the client's Paychex account. Pay components are the client's own names, for overtime or travel for example, not Paychex defaults. Hours for an ID that does not match Paychex Flex do not import. Their SPI exports use a fixed column order that begins Client ID, Worker ID, Org, Job Number, Pay Component.

After approval, myCrewIQ writes its Paychex Flex layout in that column order, one line per worker per pay component per rate, carrying hours and the rate; Paychex Flex computes the pay. The customer enters its Client ID and its own pay components in Show setup. The layout has no name column, so a worker without a payroll ID gets a blank Worker ID; that worker is listed for review, never guessed, and the ID should be settled before importing payroll. The file is labelled "Paychex Flex layout — not confirmed with your Paychex account". myCrewIQ built it from public descriptions of the format and has not tested it with any Paychex account, so test-import one file before relying on it.

- The file carries the S/T, O/T and D/T hours as reviewed and approved. A confirmed rule set can raise a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself.
- The Job Number and Labor Assignment columns are left blank; myCrewIQ does not code hours by booth, department or cost center.
- A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. Files made before approval are marked DRAFT, and any pay-relevant edit after approval cancels the approval.
- myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to Paychex Flex. Social Security numbers never enter the system.

## ADP RUN Time Sheet Import Files from Crew Sign-In Sheets

myCrewIQ prepares a file in its RUN Powered by ADP layout from approved trade show and live event crew sign-in sheets, for employers who import it into ADP RUN themselves.

RUN Powered by ADP, often called ADP RUN, is ADP's payroll and HR platform for small businesses. ADP's guide to its Time Sheet Import says the feature brings hours into a payroll once it is switched on under Company > Features Overview, and describes a comma-delimited CSV for one pay frequency: a version row, a heading row, then rows matched by RUN's Employee ID or by an Employee Time Clock ID the employer assigns, never by name. Earnings codes must come from the company's Earnings Codes Report, and a code that is not active is not imported. The file carries rate codes, not rate values. Hours for a worker not yet set up in RUN are not imported either, so a crew member new to the company must be added in RUN first. ADP says RUN's Payroll Inspector flags possible errors before payroll runs.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. After approval, myCrewIQ writes its ADP RUN layout, one row per employee per earnings code per rate, for a weekly pay frequency. The customer enters its ADP company code and its own earnings codes in Show setup. A crew member on two rates in one week gets a blank rate code, to be set in RUN. An employee without a payroll ID is listed for review, never guessed. The file is labelled "ADP RUN layout — not confirmed with your ADP RUN account"; test-import one file before relying on it.

- A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final.
- The customer imports the file under its own authority; myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to RUN.
- myCrewIQ's checks happen before the file exists and do not replace RUN's own checks.
- Taxes, withholding and direct deposit stay in RUN; myCrewIQ computes none of them.
- The Worked In Dept column is left blank; myCrewIQ does not code hours by booth, department or cost center.
- Social Security numbers never enter the system; RUN's import matches on an Employee ID or Time Clock ID.

## ADP Workforce Now Paydata Import Files for Show Crews

myCrewIQ prepares a file in its ADP Workforce Now paydata layout from approved crew sign-in sheets, for event employers who import it into Workforce Now themselves.

ADP Workforce Now (WFN) is ADP's all-in-one HR and payroll suite for mid-sized and larger businesses. An app listing on ADP's marketplace says Workforce Now imports hours and earnings as a paydata batch from a header-based CSV or a tab-separated text file, and that every paydata row starts with the company code (Co Code), the batch ID and the employee's file number (File #), in that order. The file number, not the Associate ID, is the key. Extra pay types such as double time are carried as coded pairs (Hours 3 Code and Amount, Earnings 3 Code and Amount) using codes the client has set up, and rows can carry a temporary department or cost number for job costing. Time-clock vendors' guides place the import under Process > Utilities > Import > Paydata, once paydata import is switched on in the company options.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. After approval, myCrewIQ writes its ADP Workforce Now layout, one row per employee per pay week per rate, with double time and the travel and parking reimbursement as coded pairs using the customer's own codes. The file is labelled "ADP Workforce Now layout — not confirmed with your ADP account"; test-import one file before relying on it. The customer imports it; myCrewIQ never connects to, logs in to or submits to Workforce Now.

- A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. Files made before approval are marked DRAFT.
- One ADP company code is set per account; several company codes under one account are not supported.
- The layout has no temporary department or cost number column; myCrewIQ does no general-ledger, cost-center or booth coding.
- Changing the ADP company code, or any pay-relevant edit after approval, cancels the approval.
- An employee without a payroll ID is listed for review, never guessed. Social Security numbers never enter the system.

## LASSO (Lasso.io), Employco and the Paper Crew Sign-In Sheet

myCrewIQ reads paper crew sign-in sheets and prepares approved hours and fund reports; it has no LASSO (Lasso.io) or Employco layout and no connection to either.

LASSO (lasso.io) describes itself as live-event software covering event scheduling, crew communication, onboarding, time tracking, payroll, travel, talent sourcing, projects and inventory. Its Crew Management bundle also includes e-signature and access to its Crew Marketplace, whose members are hired as W-2 employees of LASSO. LASSO's time tracking is app-based: crew or supervisors clock in by phone with geofencing, use a physical clock, or a manager keys the hours, and LASSO says timesheet data can be exported for payroll processing. Employco USA, based in Westmont, Illinois, describes itself as an HR outsourcing and payroll firm that becomes "the employer for administrative purposes" while the client stays the worksite employer. It lists union agreements in most states, monthly union fringe reports and fringe remittance among its trade show services.

myCrewIQ has no LASSO layout and no Employco layout. It does not import LASSO schedules or send anything to either company. It fits where the hours start on paper, such as a union call on the show floor where the crew signs a sheet instead of clocking in on an app. A supervisor photographs the sheet with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. The customer then has a universal payroll import CSV whose columns myCrewIQ defines, a Show Workbook with live formulas, and, where a confirmed rule set defines the funds, Health & Welfare, Pension and Training Trust reports. Getting those files to any payroll provider is the customer's step; myCrewIQ has not tested the universal file with LASSO or Employco.

- myCrewIQ does no onboarding, Form I-9 or E-Verify work; Employco lists monitoring Form I-9 compliance among its HR services.
- myCrewIQ prepares contribution reports and remits nothing; any remittance happens outside myCrewIQ.
- The live labor budget sets the plan entered in myCrewIQ against actual and forecast cost as sheets are read and reviewed; it does not read a LASSO schedule.
- Social Security numbers never enter myCrewIQ.

## IATSE Stagehands, Projectionists and Yellow Card Shows

myCrewIQ turns the handwritten sign-in sheets of stagehand and projectionist crews at trade shows, conventions and live events into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

IATSE (the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States and Canada) represents stagehands, projectionists and audio-visual technicians through its locals. Which trade handles lighting, sound, video and production rigging depends on the venue and the agreement. For example, McCormick Place's contractor information on a 2012 agreement gives that work to IATSE Local 2 in defined Production Areas and leaves it with IBEW Local 134 in exhibit booths and other areas; IATSE Local 110 is the Chicago projectionists' local. IATSE Local 720 in Las Vegas lists Tradeshow among its crafts, and IATSE Local 835 supplies trade show labor in Central Florida. IATSE Local 631 of Orlando is a stagehand local, not Teamsters Local 631 of Las Vegas. On a touring stage production under the IATSE Pink Contract, the Yellow Card sets the minimum local crew by department for each city, and local conditions and contracts still prevail. Each local's agreement sets its own minimum call, straight-time window, meal penalty and fund rates.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, which carries a LOCAL # in its header and a CLASS and RATE on every line; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show. The rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. myCrewIQ does not set, read or check Yellow Cards, and it ships no ready-made rule library for IATSE or any local.

- Contribution reports for Health & Welfare, Pension and Training Trust funds are prepared from the confirmed rule set; a fund paid per day or as a percentage of wages is shown as not computed, and myCrewIQ remits nothing.

## IBEW Electricians and Show-Floor Power Crews

myCrewIQ turns the handwritten sign-in sheets of trade show and convention electrician crews into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

At many venues, electricians of the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) power the show floor: temporary electrical services, power drops from floor ports or bus ducts, booth wiring and hookups, and electrical signs. The line between trades is drawn venue by venue. At McCormick Place, electricians handle any equipment powered from the building electrical system, plus electrical signs and audio and video hookups; its 2013 contractor information has IBEW Local 134 running the house lighting and sound. Under Navy Pier's 2016 rules, IBEW Local 1220 runs the production switcher whenever a live camera source enters the production system; without one, the work falls to IATSE Local 110. IBEW Local 357 is the Las Vegas electrical workers' local and publishes a trade show schedule for its members, and IBEW Local Union No. 3 is New York City's electrical local. Straight-time windows, overtime triggers and minimum calls differ by local and venue, and McCormick Place tells exhibitors to ask their service contractor for those work periods.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo, and a value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. On a show linked to a rule set the customer has confirmed, lines in each class, such as journeyman, foreman, general foreman or apprentice, are checked against the published rate for the work date's contract period, along with the S/T, O/T and D/T split, minimum call and meal penalty; any difference becomes a question citing the clause, and nothing written is changed by itself. myCrewIQ does not order, price or track show power or floor ports; it works from the hours electricians sign for.

- A show is linked to one agreement at most, so it is checked against one rule set.
- Founder Dakota "Cody" Burandt's background: 14+ years on show floors, starting at McCormick Place in Chicago at 17; payroll for large electrical crews; fourth-generation union family.

## Teamsters, Drayage and Material Handling Crews

myCrewIQ turns the handwritten sign-in sheets of Teamster dock, forklift and material handling crews at trade shows into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

Drayage, also called material handling, is the move of exhibit freight from the docks to the booth and back, with empty crates ("empties") stored during the show. At many venues it is Teamsters work; the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has a Convention, Trade Show and Casino Division for members who set up and dismantle shows. At McCormick Place, Teamsters handle all material except machinery in and out of the exhibit hall, and machinery goes to Riggers Local 136; Chicago's trade show Teamsters, once in Local 714, are now part of Local 727. In Las Vegas, Teamsters Local 631 covers exhibit I&D as well as freight; its members include exhibit builders, material handlers, forklift operators and aerial riggers. In New York, Local 807 merged into Teamsters Local 553, which represents convention employees at the Javits Center. Crew sizes, straight-time windows and overtime triggers come from each local's agreement and the show's labor order form.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. Once a supervisor has signed in and opened the show with a signal, photos taken after the signal drops wait on the phone and send when it returns, while the page is open and the supervisor is signed in. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set the customer confirms before it applies; it checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises differences as questions citing the clause; it never changes a written figure. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the show, as sheets are read and reviewed. myCrewIQ does not track freight, target times or empties; it works from the hours the crew signs for.

- Many funds want a report for each work month. myCrewIQ prepares contribution reports from a confirmed rule set, by show or for a calendar month of approved shows, and remits nothing; Social Security numbers never enter the system, so the customer adds the identifiers a fund requires.

## Carpenters and Booth Install and Dismantle (I&D)

myCrewIQ turns the handwritten sign-in sheets of carpenter and exhibit installer crews on trade show install and dismantle (I&D) into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

Union carpenters (United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America) do exhibit I&D at many venues. At McCormick Place, carpenters un-crate exhibits, install and dismantle them, lay floor tile and carpet, hang structural signs and re-crate exhibits and machinery, and the MPEA's 2005 amended labor agreement let decorators and carpenters work as a "unified labor force" on exhibitor booth work. Chicago's carpenters belong to the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, formerly the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters. The New York City District Council of Carpenters refers carpenters to Javits Center shows through a Trade Show List, and the former Southwest Carpenters council is now the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters. In Las Vegas, exhibit I&D is Teamsters Local 631 work. Each agreement sets its own straight-time window, overtime triggers, multipliers and minimum call.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. Lines are priced at the show's own O/T and D/T multipliers (1.5 and 2.0 unless changed), or the agreement's when a linked, confirmed rule set covers every day of the show; the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause. Each scheduled day carries one phase (Install, Show, Dismantle, Standby or Other), and the live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase as sheets are read and reviewed. The myCrewIQ sign-in sheet has no booth field, so myCrewIQ does not track labor by booth number; hours are kept by show (with its job number), day, phase and class.

- The Western States Carpenters Trust, for example, bases contributions usually on hours worked and sometimes on gross wages. myCrewIQ prices per-hour funds from a confirmed rule set and shows a percentage-of-gross fund as not computed.

## DC36, IUPAT and USW Local 17U Decorator Crews

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of trade show decorator crews into payroll-ready records the employer approves, and prepares trust fund contribution reports from them.

Decorators are the trade show crews who typically hang signs and install soft goods: the McCormick Place FAQ, for example, says decorators hang all signs and install all drape, cloth and tacked fabric panels. Who does that work, or builds the booth, depends on the venue: in some venues decorators and carpenters share exhibitor booth work as one crew while each union keeps its own agreement, and in Las Vegas decorators are among the trade show members of Teamsters Local 631. IUPAT District Council 36 (DC36) is the council of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades whose locals span California, Arizona and New Mexico; its crafts include tradeshow and sign and display. In Southern California the decorators union is DC36's trade show local, whose stated scope is tradeshow decorating and installing, exhibit building, and sign production and installing; Local 510 in Daly City is its Northern California counterpart. DC36 is not AFSCME District Council 36, a different union. In Chicago, the trade show decorators are Local 17U of the United Steelworkers (USW).

Decorator crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo; lines from other sheets are keyed by hand beside the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set the customer confirms once before it applies to a show; it checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause, never changing a written figure by itself. Each local's agreement sets its own hours, rates and apprentice steps; myCrewIQ ships no ready-made rule set for any local. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. Pension, Health & Welfare and Training Trust reports are prepared from the confirmed rule set, by show or for a calendar month of approved shows; a show report made before approval is marked provisional. myCrewIQ prepares the reports and remits nothing.

## Rigging Crews: Riggers, Machinery Movers and Truss

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of trade show rigging crews, from machinery movers to truss and chain-hoist calls, into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

On a trade show floor, rigging covers two kinds of work. Machinery rigging moves heavy exhibits: the McCormick Place FAQ says riggers un-crate, un-skid, position and re-skid all machinery, while the Teamsters handle all other material in and out of the exhibit hall. In Chicago, Riggers Local 136 (Machinery Movers, Riggers and Machinery Erectors) supplies machinery movers for trade shows. Overhead rigging hangs truss, chain hoists, motors and signs from the building, and who does it depends on the venue and its agreements: it can fall to stagehands, electricians or a dedicated rigging crew. In Las Vegas, for example, riggers and aerial riggers are among the trade show members of Teamsters Local 631. Each local's agreement sets its own crew sizes, calls and rates.

myCrewIQ handles a rigging call like any other crew. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo; lines from other sheets are keyed by hand beside the photo. Each line carries a class, such as rigger, foreman or forklift operator. Once the customer has confirmed its agreement as a cited rule set, each line is checked against the published rate for its class and work date, and the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, minimum call and meal penalty, raising any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase (Install, Show, Dismantle, Standby, Other) as sheets are read and reviewed, so a phase running over plan shows up while the show is still running.

myCrewIQ does not check crew-size rules or track forklifts, lifts or hoists; it records who worked, in which class, and for how long.

## Stewards, General Foremen and Apprentices on the Sign-In Sheet

myCrewIQ lets the general foreman and crew keep the paper sign-in sheet and gives the office a checked, payroll-ready record, including the foreman's totals and apprentice classes.

Three roles shape a union crew's paperwork on a trade show call. The foreman or general foreman (GF) leads the crew; a lead is a worker the foreman uses to help with assigned labor. A union steward is the union's on-site representative, who oversees that union's work in the facility and helps resolve jurisdiction disputes. Crews are commonly dispatched through union hiring halls or referral lists, so the names on a sheet change from job to job. Apprentices are paid on a schedule: federal rules for registered apprenticeship programs require a progressively increasing apprentice wage schedule and a numeric apprentice-to-journeyworker ratio, and each program sets its own steps and ratio.

myCrewIQ leaves the foreman's routine as it is. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo; lines from other sheets are keyed by hand beside the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's TOTAL HOURS boxes. Each line is priced on the foreman's written S/T, O/T and D/T: when the customer's confirmed rule set works out a different split, it raises a question citing the clause and never changes the written figure. From a problem, the reviewer can hand a ready-written question to the foreman through the reviewer's own email or text app; no server sends it. General foreman, foreman, journeyman and apprentice can each be a class in the rule set, checked against its published rate for the work date; where the agreement sets an apprentice rate as a percentage of the journeyman rate, a published rate that does not match is flagged as a question and nothing is changed. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final.

myCrewIQ has no steward rules or steward premiums, and it does not check foreman or apprentice crew ratios. A steward who works the call is entered like any other crew line, with a class.

## Union Trust Fund Contribution Reports: Pension, Health and Welfare, Training

myCrewIQ prepares pension, health and welfare and training trust contribution reports from approved crew hours, by show or by month, for the employer to review and remit.

Under a collective bargaining agreement, the employer owes contributions to union trust funds such as pension, health and welfare (H&W), annuity, vacation and apprenticeship training funds. The funds are jointly administered, with employers and employees equally represented under the Taft-Hartley Act, and ERISA requires every obligated employer to contribute on the plan's or agreement's terms. Each agreement sets its own fund rates and basis: many funds are paid per hour worked, some on gross wages or per day, and an agreement may leave out overtime hours or cap contributions. Many funds want one report for each work month. Funds rely on employer self-reporting and check it with audits, and when a fund wins a suit for unpaid contributions, ERISA requires the court to award them plus interest, liquidated damages or added interest, and attorney's fees.

Contribution reports for Health & Welfare, Pension and Training Trust funds are prepared from the confirmed rule set, by show or for a calendar month of approved shows, with an all-funds summary of every fund the rule set defines. Final reports come only from approved data: the monthly report takes only approved shows on the same rule-set version and lists any show left out with the reason, and a show report made before approval is labelled provisional and its files are marked DRAFT. Hours are priced by class and contract period for funds paid per hour worked; a fund paid on gross wages or per day is shown as not computed, with its clause. Each cap or minimum applied is listed with its clause, and a line that cannot be priced is listed under Not priced and left out of the totals, never silently. Reports come as CSV and spreadsheet files and a printable page. Crew are identified by payroll or company ID, never by Social Security number; the employer adds the identifiers a fund requires. myCrewIQ prepares the reports and remits nothing; the customer reviews them and remits to each fund.

- Scopes: by show, or by calendar month. There are no quarterly or annual reports.
- Funds: only those the employer's confirmed rule set defines.
- Approval: by the customer's own approver or account admin; a later pay-relevant edit cancels it.
- Audit trail: the Show Workbook's Detail tab gives each line's page and line number on the photographed sheet.

## ESCA WIS Badge and Show-Floor Worker Credentials

myCrewIQ does not issue, scan or track ESCA WIS badges or venue credentials; it turns credentialed crews' paper sign-in sheets into payroll-ready records.

The Exhibition Services and Contractors Association (ESCA) runs a national worker ID program for the exhibitions and events industry. It is long known as the WIS badge (Worker Identification System, also written Worker Identification & Security), and in 2026 ESCA relaunched it as "The Badge · Powered by ESCA". The badge confirms that a worker may enter a participating facility while employed by a contractor on a specific event; each event's own security rules still apply, and the badge is needed only where a venue or show requires it. ESCA's 2026 list of live venues includes the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Orange County Convention Center. Convention centers also keep their own contractor rules: the LVCVA requires an EAC permit, backed by a certificate of insurance, for any contractor working at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and McCormick Place, which is not on ESCA's list, runs an annual EAC Registration Program and B.E.E.P. check-in with a one-day wristband.

myCrewIQ has no badge, credential, permit or certificate-of-insurance feature, and the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet has no badge column. A badge scan or wristband controls who enters the hall; the signed sheet records who worked, in which class and for how many hours, and that sheet is what myCrewIQ handles. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each myCrewIQ sign-in sheet page, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Social Security numbers never enter the system; crew are identified by a payroll or company ID.

## Convention Centers and Show Labor Rules

myCrewIQ turns crew sign-in sheets from convention center shows into payroll-ready records, checked against the agreement the employer confirms, not a built-in venue rulebook.

Labor rules differ from one convention center to the next, and by trade inside one building. At McCormick Place in Chicago, owned by the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA), event service contractors hire the trade unions, and the venue tells exhibitors to get straight-time, overtime and double-time periods from their service contractor. The LVCVA requires an EAC permit for any contractor working at the Las Vegas Convention Center; Las Vegas shows also run at The Venetian Expo, the former Sands Expo. The Orange County Convention Center in Orlando publishes its own exhibitor and EAC conditions, and IATSE Local 835 is Orlando's trade show local. The San Diego Convention Center signed an exclusive jurisdiction agreement with four unions in 2004, and its regulations make the center the only provider of booth cleaning. State law adds a layer too: California counts overtime by the workday as well as the week, and each agreement sets its own overtime terms.

myCrewIQ holds no ready-made rules for any venue or local. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show. The rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure, a rate or gross pay by itself. Where an agreement is silent, ambiguous or in conflict, the question goes to the customer. Each show records its venue and hall, and the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet carries a LOCATION header. A show is linked to one rule set at most, so a show where several agreements apply is not checked against all of them.

## Freeman and General Service Contractor Show Floors

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of crews on show floors where Freeman or another general service contractor holds the contract into payroll-ready records for their employer.

Show management appoints a general service contractor to provide services to a trade show and its exhibitors. ESCA's glossary gives "general service contractor (GSC)" as the industry-preferred term; shows also say official service contractor or official contractor. Show organizers often appoint Freeman in that role. Donald S. "Buck" Freeman opened the first Freeman Decorating office in 1927; the company is headquartered in Dallas and offers exhibitor services and AV production under the Freeman name. A GSC's services commonly include labor, freight, rigging, hanging signs and electrical, and at McCormick Place the event service contractor hires the trade unions. Exhibitors order from forms in the show's exhibitor kit, and orders placed by the advance deadline usually cost less. Billed straight-time and overtime rates, and double-time rates where a price list has them, come from each contractor's own price list, not from fixed multiples. Paper sign-in sheets are still common on many show floors.

myCrewIQ is built for the employer that keeps the sign-in sheet, such as a labor contractor, exhibit house or EAC. It works on that employer's sheets and payroll, not on any contractor's ordering system, price list or labor invoice, and it does not track labor by booth number or by exhibitor. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads a stack of photos and scanned PDFs at once. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. Every line in the Show Workbook's Detail tab carries its page and line number, and approval is sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint of the approved figures.

## Freeman AV, PSAV and Encore Production Crews

myCrewIQ turns the handwritten sign-in sheets of audio-visual and production crews at conventions, hotels and live events into payroll-ready records the employer approves.

The AV names on show floors have changed. Freeman sold its Encore Event Technologies business to PSAV in a sale that closed in October 2019; Freeman Audio Visual Canada came to PSAV with it and was renamed Encore on March 31, 2020, and PSAV itself has operated as Encore since January 2021. So the names Freeman AV and Freeman A.V. now point two ways: Freeman sells AV production (general sessions, LED, live media switching and broadcast cameras) under the Freeman name, and the former Freeman Audio Visual Canada is part of Encore. Encore describes itself as a global event production partner and works as the in-house or preferred AV provider at many hotels and venues, though the in-house AV company differs by venue. Who does the work also changes by venue: each venue's and show's rules set which trade handles projection, live video and lighting truss, so the same task can fall to stagehands in one city and electricians in another. At McCormick Place, for example, a 2012 agreement among the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, IBEW Local 134 and IATSE Local 2 moved AV, lighting and sound work in presentation and performance areas to stagehands, while electricians kept exhibit-booth work.

myCrewIQ does not decide which local's jurisdiction a task falls under; it handles the signed sheet. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, including its CLASS and RATE columns, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. On a show linked to the employer's confirmed rule set, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. A show is linked to one rule set at most, so a call that mixes two locals' agreements is not checked against both.

## Show Management, Exhibitors and EAC Crews

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of crews that build and tear down trade show booths into payroll-ready records for their employer, with a live labor budget for each show.

Show management gives exhibitors an exhibitor kit, also called a service kit or exhibitor services manual, with the show's rules, regulations and order forms, and appoints the general service contractor. An exhibitor appointed contractor (EAC) is hired by the exhibitor to work independently of the contractors show management appoints. Shows usually require an EAC to file a notice of intent and a certificate of insurance before move-in, by a deadline each show sets. Freight is assigned target dates, and shipments outside the window may carry a penalty charge. Exhibitor rights also differ by venue: under the McCormick Place Exhibitor Bill of Rights, a full-time exhibitor employee of at least six months may work in a booth of any size with their own ladders, hand tools and power tools, and those rights cannot be passed to a contractor. A late freight window or a missed deadline can push install work into overtime hours, so the labor bill moves with the schedule.

myCrewIQ is built for the employer that keeps the sign-in sheet, such as an EAC, exhibit house or labor contractor. It has no exhibitor or show-management view, and it does not track labor by booth number, by exhibitor or by floor-plan space; the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet has no booth field. Crews keep signing paper, a vision model reads each myCrewIQ sign-in sheet page, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed. It raises an alert when a phase or the show runs over plan by more than the threshold set for the show (5% unless changed), and for the next scheduled day it shows how many men the remaining budget affords, with every input printed so it can be checked on paper. Budget figures are provisional until the batch is approved.

## Concerts, Live Events and Local Crew Calls

myCrewIQ turns handwritten sign-in sheets from concert load-ins, show calls and load-outs into payroll-ready records the local crew's employer approves.

When a concert or touring production comes into an arena or theater, a local stagehand crew works the load-in and load-out calls in departments such as rigging, carpentry, audio, lighting, video and wardrobe. Up-riggers work on the roof steel and down-riggers on the floor; on many load-ins, loaders unload the trucks and pushers move the cases to the stage. A show call covers work that must be done during the show. For IATSE Pink Contract touring productions, the Yellow Card sets the minimum local crew in each city, though local conditions and contracts prevail. Call minimums and premium-pay windows are set by each local agreement and differ by trade. One day can hold a load-in, a show call and a load-out, and where crews sign paper, each call's hours are often keyed into payroll by hand.

myCrewIQ does not schedule calls, staff to a Yellow Card or run payroll; it handles the signed sheets of each call. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads a stack of photos and scanned PDFs at once. Once a supervisor has signed in and opened the show with a signal, photos taken after the signal drops wait on the phone and send when it returns, while the page is open and the supervisor is signed in. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. On a show linked to the employer's confirmed rule set, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. Phases are set per scheduled day, so a same-day load-in, show call and load-out share one phase. myCrewIQ is priced around the payroll workflow, not the number of workers on the floor.

## Booth Numbers, BOTH# and Floor Plans

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of booth-building crews into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not capture booth numbers or track labor by booth.

Trade shows identify each exhibitor's space by a booth number set on the show's floor plan, and freight labels and bills of lading carry it so the general service contractor (GSC) can deliver to the right space. "BOTH#" is a common misspelling of BOOTH#, the booth number; McCormick Place calls it a space identification number. Booth-number formats are set by each show's floor plan; there is no standard format. Under IAEE's display guidelines, an island booth is exposed to aisles on all four sides and is typically 20 ft by 20 ft or larger; a peninsula booth faces aisles on three sides and an in-line (linear) booth faces one. McCormick Place asks exhibitors to provide floor plans with all service orders. Each show's exhibitor kit says whether island and multi-story (double-deck) exhibit plans go to show management for review, and what electrical layout an island booth needs.

myCrewIQ does not track booths. The myCrewIQ sign-in sheet has no booth column, and myCrewIQ does not read booth numbers, check them against a floor plan, or split labor by booth, exhibitor or floor-plan space. What it carries is the show and the crew: the sheet header holds the job number, show name, location and date, each line holds the worker's IN, OUT, lunch, S/T, O/T, D/T, rate and class, and each scheduled day carries one phase (Install, Show, Dismantle, Standby (Other) or Other). Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each myCrewIQ sign-in sheet page, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed.

## Freight, Empties and Material Handling Agreements

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of move-in and move-out crews into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not track freight, empties or material handling paperwork.

In trade show usage, drayage means material handling: the general service contractor (GSC) unloads freight, delivers it to the booth, stores and returns empty crates, and reloads freight at close. Elsewhere, drayage means short-haul container trucking. Material handling is billed by weight in hundredweight (CWT, 100 lb). Exhibitors can usually ship to the GSC's advance warehouse before the show or directly to show site, and trucks commonly check in at a marshaling yard before being called to the docks. Each show's exhibitor kit lists the rates, overtime charges and paperwork, such as certified weight (scale) tickets.

Exhibitors label empty containers with "empty" labels or stickers. The GSC holds empties in empty storage during the show and returns them to the booth after close, which can take hours on a large show; the bone yard is the GSC's own equipment storage, not exhibitor storage. Dismantle crews cannot pack crates until the empties are back. Each outbound shipment needs a completed Material Handling Agreement (MHA, also called an outbound material handling form) before the GSC will load it. Freight with no outbound paperwork, or whose carrier misses the check-in deadline, becomes forced freight: it is rerouted on the GSC's chosen carrier or returned to its warehouse, at the exhibitor's expense. Who moves freight varies by city and venue; at McCormick Place, for example, Teamsters handle all material except machinery.

myCrewIQ does not track freight, shipments, weights, empties, MHAs or forced freight, and it has no freight or empty-return phase. It works from the crew time on the sign-in sheet. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Each scheduled day carries one phase (Install, Show, Dismantle, Standby (Other) or Other). If a dismantle day runs long while crews wait for empties, the extra hours show in that day's phase in the live labor budget as sheets are read and reviewed, and the budget flags O/T or D/T the plan did not have.

## Emerald Carpet, Aisle Carpet and Show Decorating

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of carpet, flooring and decorating crews into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not order or track carpet.

"Emerald carpet" is not a kind of carpet. Emerald Carpets is a flooring supplier; the trade term is aisle carpet. Aisle carpet is ordered by show management, and booth carpet and padding by each exhibitor. Visqueen is clear plastic sheeting laid over new carpet to protect it during setup; at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), carts may drive on carpet only when it is protected by reinforced visqueen. Aisle carpet usually goes down once the aisles are clear of crates near the end of move-in and comes up after close, before the empties come back; each show's exhibitor kit sets the times. Cut and lay means carpet installed in a non-standard size, generally at extra cost. Under-carpet electrical work goes in before the carpet is laid.

Decorating means dressing the hall with carpet, drape, plants and the like, and "decorator" can mean the union trade or the general service contractor itself. Who lays carpet varies by city and venue; at McCormick Place, for example, carpenters lay floor tile and carpet, while decorators hang signs and install drape and fabric.

myCrewIQ does not order, measure or track carpet, flooring or visqueen, and it has no booth field or carpet phase. Where it fits is the crew's hours. Carpet and decorating crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo; other sheets are keyed by hand beside the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. When the customer has confirmed its agreement as a cited rule set, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed.

## Boom Lifts, Forklifts and Equipment Rentals

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of crews who run lifts and forklifts into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not track equipment rentals.

Show floors run on powered equipment: forklifts move freight and machinery, and boom lifts (often called condors or cherry pickers) and scissor lifts reach signs, truss and overhead work. At McCormick Place, the Exhibitor Bill of Rights bars exhibitors from using forklifts, scissor lifts, boom lifts ("condors"), pallet jacks and other motorized or hydraulic equipment. Forklift work is usually ordered from the general service contractor (GSC) with an operator and billed by the hour; each show's exhibitor kit lists the capacities, minimums and rates. Federal OSHA rules require employers to train and evaluate forklift operators, with an evaluation at least every three years, and only trained and authorized persons may operate an aerial lift.

Which trade runs the equipment varies by city and venue. In Las Vegas, for example, the trade show members of Teamsters Local 631 include forklift operators and aerial riggers. Crew sizes and call minimums are set by each local's agreement.

myCrewIQ does not track equipment rentals, lift or forklift hours, rental invoices or equipment orders. Where it fits is the operators' and crews' hours on the sign-in sheet. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Each line carries the worker's class and rate as written, and deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. When the customer has confirmed its agreement as a cited rule set, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed.

## Floor Ports, Utilities, Electrical and Plumbing

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of electrical and utility crews into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not plan, order or track floor ports or utilities.

Some exhibit halls have utility floor boxes, also called floor ports, on a regular grid carrying power and data, and some route water, drain and compressed air to them; other halls supply power from overhead. Spacing and contents vary by hall. Show power is ordered as 120V, 208V or 480V service, and electricians do the distribution and hook-up. Under-carpet electrical work goes in before the carpet is laid. Each show's exhibitor kit says what electrical layout the contractor needs and what installation, later changes and dismantle cost.

Who handles each of the utilities varies by city and venue. At McCormick Place, for example, plumbers hired through the event service contractor install and remove compressed air, water, drain and gas, and McCormick Place Technology Services provides internet and telecom in-house; its communication service technicians install voice, data and fiber, including in-booth wiring.

myCrewIQ does not plan floor ports, take utility orders, read electrical layouts or track services by booth. Where it fits is the crews' hours. Electricians, plumbers and other utility crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Rough-in and tear-out days can be planned and tracked as Install and Dismantle days in the live labor budget, which sets plan against actual and forecast as sheets are read and reviewed. When the customer has confirmed its agreement as a cited rule set, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself.

## Exhibitor Lounges, Meeting Rooms and Keynotes

myCrewIQ turns the sign-in sheets of crews who build meeting rooms, lounges and keynote stages into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget; it does not book rooms.

An exhibitor lounge is a space a show sets aside for exhibitor staff to take a break away from the floor. A company's own client lounge inside its booth is a hospitality area; a hospitality suite is a room or suite used to entertain guests. Product theaters are scheduled presentation stages on the exhibit floor, and a multi-story (double-deck) exhibit has two or more levels. At McCormick Place, exhibitors arrange meeting rooms through the show organizer, which can refer them to McCormick Place.

Who handles lighting, sound, AV and production rigging in a meeting room, product theater or keynote depends on the venue, its agreements and how the space is used. McCormick Place's contractor information, for example, describes a 2012 agreement under which IATSE Local 2 and IBEW Local 134 split that work by how a space is used, with the facility deciding disputes. Check the current rules with the venue and the show's contractor before a call is set.

myCrewIQ does not book meeting rooms, plan lounges or keynotes, or decide jurisdiction; that stays with the venue, the contractors and the unions. Where it fits is the crews' hours. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show, and a show links at most one rule set, so a keynote worked under two agreements is not checked against both. Where an agreement is silent, ambiguous or in conflict, the question goes to the customer; the software does not decide. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed.

## IMTS at McCormick Place: Crew Sign-In Sheets to Payroll-Ready Records

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from multi-week machinery-show builds, such as IMTS at McCormick Place, into payroll-ready records.

IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show is owned and produced by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and is held every two years at McCormick Place in Chicago; the next edition is IMTS 2028. Recent editions have filled all four McCormick Place buildings (North, South, West and Lakeside Center, which IMTS calls the East Building), with sectors such as metal removal, automation, additive manufacturing, and fabricating and lasers. IMTS rules require exhibitors to use labor from sources AMT designates, and move-in and move-out each run about a week or more. At McCormick Place the show's official contractor hires union trades such as Riggers and Machinery Movers Local 136, Teamsters Local 727, the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, USW Local 17U decorators, IBEW Local 134 and IATSE Local 2. There, riggers un-crate, un-skid, position and re-skid machinery; Teamsters move all other material; electricians handle equipment powered from the building; plumbers handle compressed air, water and gas. McCormick Place tells exhibitors to ask their service contractor for straight time, overtime and double time work periods, and each local's agreement sets its own.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads a stack of photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo, and a value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show; the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause, never changing a written figure by itself. The universal payroll import carries one row per employee per pay week for each class and rate, so a build that runs several weeks stays one show, split by pay week; myCrewIQ never connects to or submits to a payroll system. myCrewIQ does not order labor or rigging, and it does not track booth numbers or exhibitors.

## FABTECH: Crew Payroll When the Host City Changes

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from machinery-show I&D in a host city that changes, such as FABTECH, into payroll-ready records.

FABTECH describes itself as "North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event." Five event partners put it on: the American Welding Society (AWS), the Industrial Finishing & Coating Association (IFCA, formerly the Chemical Coaters Association International), the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association (FMA), the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) and SME. The floor covers forming and fabricating, welding, finishing, tube and pipe, stamping and press automation, and automation. The U.S. show changes host city: it has rotated among Chicago, Las Vegas and Atlanta, and it was held in Orlando in 2024. Recent and announced U.S. venues include McCormick Place (Chicago), the Orange County Convention Center (Orlando), the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Georgia World Congress Center (Atlanta). Separate FABTECH events are held in Canada and Mexico. Labor rules differ by city and venue. At McCormick Place, riggers un-crate, un-skid, position and re-skid machinery. In Las Vegas, Teamsters Local 631 holds exhibit I&D and freight work through labor agreements with contractors, and IBEW Local 357 is the electricians' local. Each show's exhibitor kit says what exhibitors may do themselves.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show. Each show links one rule set at most, so a show in a new city is checked against the agreement the customer confirms for that show. The rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself. Each show is set up as union, non-union or mixed; the label changes no calculation, and one show cannot apply different rules to union and non-union crew. Each scheduled day carries one phase: Install, Show, Dismantle, Standby (Other) or Other. myCrewIQ does not track booth numbers, freight or truck wait times.

## ASCO Annual Meeting Exhibits: Crew Hours and the Labor Budget

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from medical-meeting exhibit builds, such as the ASCO Annual Meeting at McCormick Place, into payroll-ready records and a live labor budget.

The ASCO Annual Meeting is the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held at McCormick Place in Chicago. At McCormick Place, event service contractors hire the union trades: decorators hang signs and install drape, electricians handle equipment powered from the building, and projectionists handle projection equipment. Chicago's trade show unions include the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, USW Local 17U decorators, IBEW Local 134 electricians, IATSE Local 2 stagehands and IATSE Local 110 projectionists. Each local's agreement sets its own overtime, minimum call and meal rules, so the labor cost of a large exhibit build moves with each day's hours.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase and for the whole show, as sheets are read and reviewed. It raises an alert when a phase or the show runs over plan by more than the threshold set in the show's plan (5% unless changed). For the next scheduled day it shows how many men the remaining budget affords, with every input printed so it can be checked on paper. Loaded cost is wages plus fringe from the confirmed rule set; budget figures are provisional until the batch is approved. A batch is approved by the customer's own approver or account admin before any import file is final. myCrewIQ tracks labor by show and phase, not by booth or exhibitor client, and it prepares no client invoices.

## AOA Optometry's Meeting and IMSH: Crew Payroll for Meetings That Move Each Year

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from healthcare meetings that change host city each year, such as AOA's Optometry's Meeting and IMSH, into payroll-ready records.

Optometry's Meeting is the national conference of the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the American Optometric Student Association (AOSA), combining the annual AOA Congress and AOSA Conference; its exhibit hall is called Eye Care Square. It moves to a different U.S. city each year, with announced hosts Boston (2027), Seattle (2028), National Harbor, Maryland (2029) and Nashville (2030). IMSH, the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, is the flagship annual conference of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and includes an exhibit of simulation technology, equipment and services. It also changes host city each year: IMSH 2027 is at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans and IMSH 2028 at the San Diego Convention Center. The two meetings are separate and do not share a host-city circuit. Because the host city changes, so do the labor rules; each show's exhibitor kit says what exhibitors may do themselves.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, and every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Each show is set up as union, non-union or mixed and runs through the same workflow. Each show links one rule set at most, prepared from the customer's own agreement and confirmed by the customer, so a meeting in a new city is checked against the agreement confirmed for that show; any difference is raised as a question citing the clause. myCrewIQ records the hours written on the sheet and does not decide which work belongs to a trade or to exhibitor staff. Payroll files come as a universal import plus layouts named for ADP Workforce Now, RUN Powered by ADP, Paychex Flex, Gusto and others; each layout carries a label such as "not confirmed with your Gusto account", so test-import one file before relying on it. myCrewIQ never connects to or submits to a payroll system, and it computes no taxes or withholding, so state tax rules stay with the payroll system.

## FinTech Expos in Las Vegas: Money20/20, the Venetian Expo and the LVCC

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from Las Vegas show floors, including FinTech events such as Money20/20 USA, into payroll-ready records.

At a FinTech expo in Las Vegas, contractors' union crews install and dismantle booths, often across several trades and shifts, and many of those hours are still written on paper sign-in sheets. The office then keys those sheets into payroll. Each local's agreement sets its own straight-time windows, overtime, minimum calls and meal rules, so each sheet must be checked against the one that covers it.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo, and a value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set that the customer confirms once before it applies to a show; the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty, and raises any difference as a question citing the clause. myCrewIQ does not track badges or EAC permits, and it never connects to, logs in to or submits to a payroll system.

- Money20/20 USA is a FinTech event held in Las Vegas. It has been held at The Venetian and moves to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Resorts World Las Vegas in October 2027.
- Fintech Meetup, a separate Las Vegas FinTech event, was held at Mandalay Bay in 2026 and is scheduled for The Venetian Convention & Expo Center in 2027.
- The Venetian Expo was called the Sands Expo until 2021.
- In Las Vegas, Teamsters Local 631 holds exhibit I&D and freight work through contractor agreements; IBEW Local 357 is the electricians' local and IATSE Local 720 the stagehands'.
- Any contractor working at the LVCC needs an LVCVA exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC) permit, and the LVCC takes part in ESCA's worker badge program.

## Esri User Conference at the San Diego Convention Center

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from San Diego Convention Center shows, such as the Esri User Conference, into payroll-ready records.

The Esri User Conference (Esri UC) is held each July at the San Diego Convention Center, and Esri describes it as "the world's largest GIS event". Its Plenary Session and its Expo use the center's exhibit halls, so exhibits, stages and sessions are built and struck by crews from several trades. California adds a layer: state law generally requires 1.5× pay after 8 hours in a workday and 2× after 12, but Labor Code §514 exempts employees covered by a qualifying collective bargaining agreement, and for those crews the agreement sets overtime and double time. Each local's agreement also sets its own straight-time windows, minimum calls and meal rules.

myCrewIQ works on the sign-in sheets. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set the customer confirms before it applies to a show; the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split, rate, minimum call and meal penalty and raises any difference as a question citing the clause. It never changes a written figure by itself, and where an agreement is silent or ambiguous the question goes to the customer. Contribution reports for Health & Welfare, Pension and Training Trust funds are prepared from the confirmed rule set; myCrewIQ remits nothing, and the customer remits to each fund.

- Esri, the company behind Esri UC, is based in Redlands, California.
- The San Diego Convention Center Corporation, a nonprofit, manages and operates the center.
- In 2004 the center signed an Exclusive Jurisdiction Agreement with IATSE Local 122, IBEW Local 569 and the decorators' and Teamsters locals that share the venue's jurisdiction.
- myCrewIQ ships no rule set for any local; each rule set is built from the customer's own agreement.

## CES and Auto Show Builds: Crew Sign-In Sheets to Payroll

myCrewIQ turns stacks of handwritten crew sign-in sheets from large exhibit builds, such as CES in Las Vegas and the major auto shows, into payroll-ready records.

Big exhibit builds at CES and the auto shows bring crews from several trades onto the floor across install, show and dismantle days, and much of that time is recorded on paper sign-in sheets. The rules change with the city: in Las Vegas, Teamsters Local 631 holds exhibit I&D through contractor agreements; at McCormick Place in Chicago, riggers position machinery and Teamsters handle all other material in and out of the hall. Each local's agreement sets its own overtime, minimum calls and meal rules, and the office has to check every sheet against the one that applies.

Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads many photos or multi-page PDFs at once, and each page is filed to its day. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo. Problems are grouped by cause, so one question can answer many lines, and deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's agreement becomes a cited, versioned rule set; once the customer confirms it, the rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split and raises any difference as a question citing the clause. The live labor budget sets plan against actual and forecast by phase, as sheets are read and reviewed, and shows how many men the remaining budget affords for the next scheduled day. myCrewIQ is priced around the payroll workflow, not the number of workers on the floor.

- CES is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and held in Las Vegas in January.
- CES groups its venues into three campuses: the LVCC Campus (with Westgate and Fontainebleau), the Venetian Campus (with the Venetian Expo) and the C Space Campus at ARIA. In 2026, CES Media Days and CES Unveiled were held at Mandalay Bay for registered media.
- The Detroit Auto Show, formerly the North American International Auto Show, is held in January at Huntington Place (formerly Cobo Center) and overseen by the Detroit Auto Dealers Association.
- The Chicago Auto Show, first staged in 1901, is produced by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association at McCormick Place in February.
- The New York International Auto Show is held at the Javits Center in spring, and the Los Angeles Auto Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center in November.

## Comic-Con, NerdCon and Fan Conventions: Crew Sign-In Sheets to Payroll

myCrewIQ turns handwritten crew sign-in sheets from fan convention work, such as exhibits and off-site activations around San Diego Comic-Con, into payroll-ready records.

At a fan convention such as San Diego Comic-Con, crews can work inside the hall and at off-site activations on the same days, and teardown hours arrive on paper after the show closes. Move-out schedules and payroll cutoffs are set by each show and each employer. For union crews, overtime, double time, minimum calls and meal rules come from each local's agreement; in California, Labor Code §514 exempts employees covered by a qualifying collective bargaining agreement from the state's daily overtime rules.

myCrewIQ works on the paper. Crews keep signing the paper sheet; a supervisor photographs it with a phone browser, or the office uploads photos and scanned PDFs. Once a supervisor has signed in and opened the show with a signal, photos taken after the signal drops wait on the phone and send when it returns, while the page is open and the supervisor is signed in. A vision model reads each page of the myCrewIQ sign-in sheet, including its LOCATION field; every value it reads stays marked until a person checks it against the photo, and a value the sheet cannot support is left blank and flagged, never filled in. Deterministic checks compare written hours with IN/OUT times and the foreman's total boxes. A customer's confirmed rule set checks each line's S/T, O/T and D/T split and raises any difference as a question citing the clause; it never changes a written figure by itself.

- San Diego Comic Convention, known as Comic-Con International, is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. It also produces WonderCon in Anaheim.
- Its flagship show, Comic-Con International: San Diego (San Diego Comic-Con, or SDCC), has been held at the San Diego Convention Center since 1991; SDCC can also mean the convention center itself.
- Comic-Con has grown to include satellite locations, including local hotels and outdoor parks, and brands run off-site activations in the surrounding Gaslamp District.
- NerdCon is not a current trade show. NerdCon: Stories, a storytelling conference, ran in Minneapolis in 2015 and 2016, and NerdCon: Nerdfighteria ran once, in Boston in 2017. Several unrelated local fan events use the name today.
