Welcome to Production Labor Services. We specialize in IATSE union labor payroll services — and we don’t just process it. We’re there, on-site, with a handpicked crew, making sure every hour, every rate, and every condition is accounted for.
Whether you’re organizing a corporate show, live event, convention, or broadcast setup, we handle the payroll so you can focus on your event.
Production Labor Services is a proud IA Signatory Payroll Company, providing tailored, compliant, and transparent payroll services to IATSE stagehands, technicians, and craftspeople.
Our team has decades of backstage experience & payroll services, and we understand the pressures of putting an event together. That’s why we show up where it matters — at the venue, providing real-time support — to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Unlike remote payroll companies, we always have at least one PLS team member on-site for the entire duration of your event — at no extra cost.

We handle all the complex IATSE collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), making sure your production avoids costly penalties and stays fully compliant.

Need extra hands? Special crew for a unique setup? We make on-the-spot adjustments to match your event’s needs.

As a certified IA Signatory Payroll Company, we can negotiate customized CBAs for your event, reducing labor costs while maintaining 100% union standards.

We provide certified IATSE stagehand crews for all types of productions — including riggers, carpenters, electricians, lighting, and audio specialists.

Unlike remote-only payroll companies, PLS has a team member present on-site at every event to manage crew safety, ensure compliance, and make instant adjustments.

We handle the entire payroll process, including wage calculation, benefit contributions, tax deductions, and reporting — so you don’t have to.
We believe in building solutions that support everyone involved, ensuring fairness, compliance, and long-term value for the entire event community.
