Hours+: Take Your Timecards Online

Cast & Crew
| 08/25/2022

Messy timecard issues? Entertainment productions are tricky enough—getting your crews paid should be the simple part. Fortunately, that’s where Hours+ comes in, by taking your timecards online. Hours+ provides a more efficient way to track time while also improving visibility and flexibility. It’s convenient, transparent, and easy to use, making a payroll accountant’s life simpler and streamlining the way timecards are processed. Every part of production should be this straightforward! 

Hours+ is an online timecard system that helps you save time and reduce inaccuracies throughout the entire payroll process. With real-time access to things like timecards and payroll status, you can ensure that you stay up to date with your production. Fewer hassles and no more manual timecards. Just get your crew paid promptly and without drama. 

With up to 4,000+ crew members employed on a large film production, imagine the things you could accomplish without having to physically track down crew members who haven’t properly filled out their timecards. With Hours+, crew can digitally submit their own timecards online from any device they choose. The process is automated, delivering calculated timecard information to reviewers before sending it back to Cast & Crew for processing. And what’s more, Hours+ provides a simplified bulk approvals process that helps handle multiple timecards at once, reducing human error, improving accuracy, and (most importantly) saving time. 

What Are the Benefits of Taking Your Timecards Online? We Have Plenty.

Hours+ allows for efficient time capture from crew members, automatically delivers timecard information to reviewers, and instantly transfers to Cast & Crew for processing. Hours+ also seamlessly integrates with other Cast & Crew products, such as MyCast&Crew, Start+, Studio+, and Reporting+.  

Top Hours+ benefits include: 

  • Convenience – Enables your crew to digitally submit their timecards from any device. No more having to physically track people down. 
  • Automation – Delivers calculated timecard information based on union contracts to supervisors and approvers, then digitally transmits back to Cast & Crew for processing. 
  • Immediacy – Payroll accountants have instant access to crew timecards, visibility of hours-to-gross pay, and payroll status. 
  • Efficiency – Simplified bulk approvals process reduces human error and improves accuracy.
  • Customization – Create your own custom batches and approval chains to configure your approval flow however you’d like.

Did You Know Hours+ Has Daily Timesheets?

You asked, we answered. Now, department heads and production accountants can update and add times for their departments every day. No more recording times outside Hours+ and scrambling to enter them all at the end of the week. With daily timesheets: 

  • Entries can be completed at the end of each day, with an entire crew displayed on one page for easy access.  
  • Individual changes can be made to specific crew members, such as adjusting for unique start and end times.  
  • Filtering capabilities make it easy to find and edit specific crew times.  
  • It’s more straightforward for department heads to manage their daily payroll and for crew members to stay on top of their pay.  

So say goodbye to messy timecards that slow down payroll and waste your time and energy. Stay on top of your production with less effort and more options. With Hours+, you have a better way to effectively manage time capture. Learn more about the full capabilities of Hours+ here—you’ll be glad you did.
