Showbiz Time Cards Users Guide - Showbiz Software

Contract Players
As with daily and weekly players, contract players (whose work is governed by SAG Schedule F) are set up
using the Autopaste Schedules feature. There is a contract tracker and calculator feature located in the
lower right hand corner of the worksheet.
To calculate the weekly rate for a Contract player, you must enter these three
(3) numbers:
1) The contract total
2) The total number of days in the contract
3) The number of days in the work week
After entering the numbers in appropriate fields, click the Get Weekly Rate
link to calculate the weekly rate. The result is displayed in the Rate field on
the left side of the Worksheet.
Note the field at the bottom of the Update Contract Totals window to include
6 th and 7 th days’ pay:
The Ceiling option adds the day rate on 6 th and 7 th days, such as $950.00. The
Premium adds the day rate multiplied by the overtime rate; for example,
$950.00 x 1.5 = $1,425.00.
If you find that your first efforts contain errors, you can click on the Clear
Contract link to remove all the data entered and calculated so far and start
over.
Once the time card is completed (that is, the Magic Pay button has been
clicked, all the results confirmed and any corrections or additions performed)
and approved for payment, click on the
button to display the total amount paid to date, the
number of days and weeks used up and the number of days and weeks left in
the contract.
