CrewStart™: Hot Cost Reports
Summary
The updated timesheets function within CrewStart™ streamlines the preparation of weekly payroll by enabling users to generate daily hot cost reports.
Organising and disseminating onboarding paperwork is a challenge faced by production companies of all sizes. CrewStart™, Sargent-Disc's onboarding application, is designed to help your team automate the processing of contracts, start forms, daily rate vouchers and timesheets.
A recent update to the CrewStart™ timesheets function ensures that daily hot cost reports are generated by combining rate information from crew start paperwork, and crew time and attendance collected with daily time reports. This optional feature removes the need for the accounts office to manually calculate Pact BECTU overtime payments (such as Camera and Non-Camera overtime), avoiding mistakes and streamlining the preparation of the weekly payroll.
Features and Benefits:
- Reduces the risk of human error with timesheets calculated automatically
- Crew time and attendance logged within daily time reports
- Daily hot cost reports outlining all overtime payments including camera and non-camera overtime, 6th and 7th day payments, meal delays and curtailments
- Pact BECTU compatible timesheets
- Customisable approval chain as an optional extra

The hot cost feature can be switched on within the admin section - this automatically updates the hot costs window which can be exported.
