The problem

Crew get paid late.
Producers do timesheet maths at midnight.

Excel sheets. WhatsApp screenshots. Manual CPA calculations. A compliance document open in one tab and an invoice in another. It's 2026 and the commercial production industry still runs on this.

"The OT bands are wrong again."

Different deals, different day lengths, different OT bands. One spreadsheet template can't hold all of it, and a mistake costs you a crew member's trust.

"Where are this driver's banking details?"

Banking info in emails, in WhatsApp chats, in production-coordinator's-laptop.xlsx. Insecure, scattered, and a payroll headache every Friday.

"What was the turnaround on Tuesday?"

Turnaround penalties depend on when wrap was called. Working those out by hand at the end of a 7-day shoot is how mistakes happen.

What it does

Every CPA rule.
Calculated for you.

Hourly rate, overtime bands, Sunday premiums, turnaround penalties — all from the official CPA Nov 2022 working guidelines. You enter the call and wrap. CrewSheets does the rest.

FEATURE 01 / CALCULATION

The maths that never gets it wrong.

Hourly is always day rate ÷ 10. On a 10-hour deal, OT bands are first 4 hours at 1.5×, then 2×. On a 12-hour deal, first 2 at 1.5× then 2×. Sundays auto-flag as premium. Turnaround penalties use time-of-day arithmetic exactly as the CPA specifies.

  • CPA Nov 2022 (V2) compliant
  • 10-hour and 12-hour deals
  • Auto Sunday premium with per-day override
  • Turnaround penalties: 1×, 2×, 3× bands
  • Side-by-side breakdown — see the maths

One project. Every shoot day.

A project sets the deal terms — commercial or feature, 10 or 12-hour days — and every timesheet captured against it inherits them. Add crew from your roster with one click. End the project when the job wraps. Reopen it if there's a re-shoot.

  • Commercial 10hr or 12hr deals
  • Feature jobs auto-set to 12hr days
  • End / reopen projects without losing data
  • One-click capture from project to timesheet

Common questions

Asked, and answered.

Is it actually CPA compliant?

Yes. Every calculation follows the CPA Working Guidelines of November 2022 (V2). The full document is bundled in the app so you can cross-reference any number CrewSheets produces.

What about my crew's banking data?

Account numbers are encrypted with AES-128-CBC + HMAC at rest, masked by default in the UI, and only revealed when you explicitly tap to view. They never appear in URLs or in emails.

Can I use it for features and TVCs both?

Yes. Each project sets its own deal terms: commercial 10hr or 12hr, or feature (always 12hr). Calculations adapt accordingly. You can run a TVC and a feature side by side.

What if the CPA guidelines change?

We update CrewSheets to match. The platform versions every deal so existing timesheets keep their original calculations even after a guideline update.

What does the Company plan include?

Unlimited users (your producers, PAs, coordinators), unlimited crew roster records, unlimited projects, unlimited timesheets. Flat R299/month. Nothing scales with team size.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing for 14 days. No card required up front. Cancel any time during the trial and you'll never see a charge.
