How to fill it in

What it is for

A timesheet and pay statement records when one crew member started and finished each day of the pay period, and works out what they are owed from that record. Crew member and production office check the same numbers before payment.

When to use it

Fill in the day’s line right after wrap every shooting day. At the end of the pay period (weekly, monthly, etc.) check the pay section and hand it to the production office, which checks it against call sheets and production reports before paying.

Field by field

  • Name · department · position

    What
    Who is being paid
    How
    Use the name on the contract. Add the position if two people in the department share a name.
    Example
    Seoyul Park · Camera · 1st AC
  • Pay period

    What
    Dates covered by this sheet
    How
    Follow the pay cycle in the contract. Start the next sheet the following day so periods never overlap.
    Example
    2026-11-09 – 2026-11-15
  • Pay type

    What
    Daily, weekly, flat fee and so on
    How
    Defaults to daily. For a flat deal, change it and enter the per-day equivalent as the day rate.
    Example
    Daily
  • Date

    What
    Day worked
    How
    An overnight shoot is one line on the day it started. Leave days off blank or note “day off”.
    Example
    2026-11-10
  • Day #

    What
    Shooting day number
    How
    Match the call sheet. Note prep and wrap-out days in Notes.
    Example
    9
  • Call

    What
    When work actually started
    How
    The time you actually started, not the department call printed on the call sheet.
    Example
    07:00
  • Wrap

    What
    When work finished
    How
    After gear is packed and returned. Past midnight is fine — Excel rolls it into the next day.
    Example
    21:30
  • Hours

    What
    Time from call to wrap
    How
    Calculated from Call and Wrap. To check weekly hours, use the /tools/work-hours calculator.
    Example
    14.5
  • Status (Worked/Half)

    What
    Whether the day counts as full or half
    How
    Pick Worked or Half from the list. Days worked and base pay are counted from this column.
    Example
    Worked
  • OT hours

    What
    Hours beyond the threshold in your contract
    How
    The threshold follows your contract and applicable law. Enter only the extra hours (30 minutes = 0.5).
    Example
    2.5
  • Adjust

    What
    One-off additions or deductions for that day
    How
    Add mileage or kit fees; enter advances as negative amounts. Give the reason in Notes.
    Example
    30000
  • Notes

    What
    Anything unusual that day
    How
    Night work, past midnight, company moves, reasons for adjustments — whatever someone checking would ask about.
    Example
    Own car, gear transport
  • Day rate

    What
    Base pay per day
    How
    Copy it from the contract. Base pay = day rate × days worked.
    Example
    350,000
  • Days worked (half = 0.5)

    What
    Days worked in the period
    How
    Counted from the Status column: Worked = 1, Half = 0.5.
    Example
    5.5
  • Base pay

    What
    Day rate × days worked
    How
    Calculated. If it looks wrong, check for days with no status.
    Example
    1,925,000
  • Overtime rate (per hour)

    What
    Pay per overtime hour
    How
    Use the figure in the contract; if none is set, agree it with the production office before settling.
    Example
    40,000
  • Overtime pay

    What
    Overtime rate × total OT hours
    How
    Calculated.
    Example
    260,000
  • Adjustments

    What
    Sum of the Adjust column
    How
    Calculated; deductions come through as negatives.
    Example
    30,000
  • Gross pay

    What
    Base pay + overtime + adjustments
    How
    Before withholding. If it is far from the deal, recheck the table.
    Example
    2,215,000
  • Withholding (enter your rate)

    What
    Tax withheld from gross pay
    How
    Rules differ by country and contract type — enter the amount that applies under your contract and local law.
    Example
    73,090
  • Net pay

    What
    What is actually paid
    How
    Gross minus withholding. Check it against the amount received on pay day.
    Example
    2,141,910
  • Paid on / approved by

    What
    Payment date and who approved it
    How
    The production office fills it in after paying; the crew member confirms the amount received.
    Example

Tips

  • Fill in the day’s line right after wrap — call and wrap times blur fast if you leave it for days.
  • Write actual times, not call sheet times, and reconcile any difference with the production report the same week.
  • Put the OT threshold, OT rate and what counts as a half day in the deal memo before the shoot — it heads off pay disputes.
  • The /tools calculators help you check weekly hours (work-hours), withholding (withholding) and whole-crew labour cost (labor-cost) in advance.
  • Always give a reason for an adjustment; unexplained amounts get queried at sign-off.

Common mistakes

  • Splitting an overnight shoot into two lines, so an extra day gets counted.
  • Marking a half day as Worked, inflating base pay.
  • Entering total hours in the OT column, so overtime pay balloons.
  • Using a withholding amount that does not match the contract type, so net pay is wrong.

FAQ

What about wraps after midnight?

If wrap is earlier than call, the formula treats it as the next day (MOD).

Which withholding rate applies?

It depends on country and contract type, so the English file leaves withholding as an amount you enter.
