Problem
Fashion and beauty productions must manage complex workflows involving casting, booking, payroll, workers’ compensation, and compliance with regulations such as the NY Fashion Workers Act. Manual handling of documentation, payments, and audit requirements leads to errors, delays, and increased risk of non‑compliance.
Solution
The Lasko Company offers a unified operating platform that connects the entire production lifecycle—from casting and booking to invoicing, payments, and workers’ compensation—into a single, audit‑ready system. The platform automatically tracks required documentation, embeds compliance with the NY Fashion Workers Act, and supports both 1099 and W‑2 workers. Integrated workers’ compensation coverage and payment processing are built into each booking, creating a single record that includes proof of payment and retains data for six years. The solution is complemented by a white‑glove service team that provides hands‑on support to keep productions moving efficiently while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are producers, production managers, and agencies that run fashion and beauty shoots, as well as brands and studios that need compliant payroll and workers’ compensation solutions for their talent and crew.
