“I can't believe it's finally here...I'll never have to worry that it's calculated wrong again. Showbiz Time Cards cuts my cardbreaking time in half.”

— Andy Wheeler
Comedy Central

The data from the weekly payroll, upon being processed, is now e-mailed, by the Production Accountants in the field, at the same time, to both us and the payroll service, allowing my office immediate access to the crew payroll, and allowing my staff fast and easy comparison of the payroll data with the Production Reports.

The ease of access to crew data, on demand, makes review of the data a snap, and allows any discrepancies or other concerns to be addressed before the payroll is even paid."

– Robert Pfeffer
Manager, Production Accounting

13 years Key Production Accountant on independent features, including: "Buffalo '66," "Edges of the Lord," "This World, then the Fireworks," and "Amityville Dollhouse"

 
       
    Wouldn't it be nice to simply type in the hours worked and rate of pay to figure out gross pay? With Showbiz Time Cards, that's all you need to do.  
   
 
 
    After a one-time employee setup, you simply enter the work hours and click one button for hours-to-gross totals. Showbiz Time Cards calculates total hours and pay for almost every union and guild contract, 6th and 7th day calculations, meal penalties, kit rentals, French hours, split days, multi-jobs, turnaround, and more!  
           
      COMPLICATED CALCULATIONS MADE EASY

    One-time Employee Setup:
Enter as little or as much employee information as your desire (see employee info window below). Once you've set up an employee, you'll never have to type their information again.
           
    Enter the Hours Worked:
As you enter the work hours, you'll see the total hours, meal penalties, straight time, overtime, and gold time hours instantly. It will even break down the hours using French/elapsed hours. Additionally, you'll know how many force call hours, minimum guarantees not met, and more!
           
   

Then Press the MagicPay Button:
Click one more button and you are done. Once you click the MagicPay button, every line of detail will magically appear in the "PAY BREAKDOWN" section. Now you can leave it as is or adjust any line of detail to your liking.

           
    Get More Accurate and Easier to Read
Time Cards/Worksheets:
Print your time card worksheets and attach them to the signed time cards. Or, e-mail your time cards to Media Services rapid payroll processing. Combined with Media Services' on-site check printing, there is no faster way to pay your staff and crew.
           
    A Plethora of Reports
You can generate reports for one day, one week, a month, for one production, for one employee, etc. For each of these type of reports you can print a box & car, mileage & lodging, holiday & vacation, employee checklists, etc.
           
    Daily Labor Hot Costs
If you enter the work hours on a daily basis, you can generate a daily labor hot cost for each day on your production. And when the week is over, you've already prepared 90% of your payroll for processing.
           
           
      OTHER KILLER FEATURES  
           
    Meal Penalties
Meal Penalties are automatically calculated giving you the option to call "Grace" to recognize all the meal penalties incurred.

Multi-Job
Any employee can work up to three separate jobs in one week and your Showbiz Time Card calculator will figure it all out for each individual job at different rates or different accounts including: Box rentals, meal penalties, vacation pay, holiday pay, straight time, overtime, and gold time.

Split Days
You can easily split any day by allocating any quantity of straight, overtime, and gold hours to its respective job number.

Turnaround / Force Call Hours
If you have to pay force calls, just tell it the force call interval, e.g., 10 hours, and the software will tell you exactly how many penalty hours you incurred.

Minimum Union Guaranteed Hours Warning
If you type in a minimum guaranteed hours, you'll receive an asterisk and a warning letting you know which days the minimum was not met.

Union Force Guaranteed Hours
With the click of a button, you can force all total work hours for each day up to the minimum guaranteed hours. E.g., on a 10 hour guarantee, where they only worked 7.5 hours, the button will change the total work hours to 10 hours for that day.

Automatic Calculation of Holiday and Vacation Pay
You can pay any percentage for holiday or vacation pay. Plus, you can pay straight time, 1.5x, or 2x on your holiday and vacation pay.
