Info

Overview Consider this Users Guide as providing two different, yet essential, types of information: how all parts of the program work together to quickly and accurately create new information for each weeks’ payroll and what each and every command in the program does. We’re guessing you’ll want to know more about the first kind of info right away, so we’ve placed our illustrated Tutorial section right up at the front of this guide. After you’ve installed the program, go to the Tutorial first for a step-by-step tour of how Showbiz SAG Film and TV Cast Time Cards works. When you find yourself uncertain or curious as to what a particular menu option or command button does, flip to the text-oriented Menu Commands or Navigation Bar Commands sections for details on that specific item. By the end of your tutorial session or review of the commands sections, you’ll have learned how Time Cards gives you ultimate control over your payroll data: Just Click one Button to Populate the Time Card with almost every SAG rule. You'll automatically get money breaks, overtime schedules, meal penalty fees, travel time calculations, weekly overtime calculations and more. Print Your Time Cards to PDF and e-mail them to any payroll service. Or, attach the time card/worksheets to the signed time cards. Combined with Media Services' on-site check printing, there is no faster way to pay your cast. Generate a Daily Labor Hot Cost for each day on your production. When the week is over, you've already prepared 90% of your payroll for processing. Add a Stunt Adjustment on Any Day and new hourly rates are automatically calculated by day for day players and by week for all other schedules. Apply Agency Fees by simply adding a percentage in the Agency field and all the pensionable fees will be calculated. Always Know How Much You've Paid, how many days or weeks are left in a contract and use one click to pay out the rest of the contract. Plus, the weekly rate is calculated just by entering total days in the week and the contract. Automatically Calculate Meal Penalties, with the option to call "Grace" to recognize all the meal penalties incurred. Define the Force Call Interval, the program will calculate exactly how many penalty hours were incurred and it will add the cost onto the time card (while automatically recognizing SAG ceilings). Automatically Pay Per Diem, both taxable and non-taxable, based on how many days were worked. Plus, if you like, calculate and pay an advance equal to your total taxable and non-taxable per diems.
