Airtable tracks projects, tasks, and worker rosters. Wingspan manages worker records, checks, and pay. Each worker record is called a payee. Worker types include Contractor and W-2.
An engagement is a reusable work template. Each assignment links one worker to that template. The worker type sets the right terms and pay path. Creating a worker record and sending an invite are separate steps.
Approved contractor tasks fill work logs. Approving a log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Finance gives separate payment approval. W-2 workers receive pay statements through employee payroll runs with tax withholding.
Client invoices stay separate from worker pay. Wingspan sends readiness and pay status to Airtable fields. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank finished processing. It does not prove the worker’s bank posted funds.
