Baton helps teams set up software for clients. Teams track project goals, tasks, and go-live dates. Outside contractors often help with these projects.
Wingspan manages worker records, required checks, and pay. A worker record is a payee. It holds the selected Contractor or W-2 type. This guide focuses on contractor project work. W-2 workers use pay statements and employee payroll with tax withholding.
An engagement is a shared work template. An assignment holds one worker's dates, rates, and tasks. Baton projects add context to these records. Client engagements track work billed to clients. They stay separate from worker assignments.
Deliverables and hours sync to work logs in Wingspan. A manager reviews the submitted work. Work-log approval creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees the same amount as a payable. Finance approves payment in a separate step.
Agreed milestone fees also support direct payables. Use one path for each amount owed. Client billing and worker pay keep separate controls. Wingspan shares pay status with Baton.
