Crew timecards and overtime

A timecard records when a crew member started and finished on a shoot day. Once you approve it, the total goes onto their crew invoice for the job, so nobody retypes hours.

Log the hours

Every booking has its own timecard.

  • Crew log their own times from their crew login.
  • You can log for them from the day's page: in the project's Shoot section, press Shoot day on that day.

Enter In, Out and Break, minutes, or press Clock in now and Clock out now on the day. An out time earlier than the in time counts as the next morning, so a late wrap just works. A card can hold up to 24 hours.

Timecards are for real shoot days: holds and released bookings have none, and a day that has not come yet takes hours once it does.

Overtime

Overtime starts after a number of hours at a multiplier, shown as Overtime after 10 hours at 1.5x. That is the default. You can change it for the whole workspace or for one booking, from 1 to 24 hours and from 1x to 3x. On a half-day booking, overtime starts at half the hours, unless the booking sets its own terms.

Approve

When the hours look right, press Approve. That fixes the amount as it stands. If something needs changing, press Reopen, fix it and approve again.

Crew can log their own time but they cannot approve it.

What timecards do not do

Timecards are not payroll. Cutvey does not withhold tax, run pay or file anything with the government. They also do not change the project's cost by themselves: the approved crew invoice does.
