Media Production Houses payroll — FAQs

How do we handle payments when crew work across multiple productions in one month?
PayTime tracks hours and payments by project, then consolidates them into a single monthly payslip showing totals per crew member. Your billing department can also extract labour costs per project for client invoicing.
What happens if a shoot runs over and crew work irregular hours or overtime?
You log actual hours worked per shoot, and PayTime calculates gross pay based on your agreed rates and overtime multipliers. Everything feeds into the monthly payroll and tax filings automatically.
Can we handle payments to freelance cinematographers or production companies we hire?
Yes—PayTime supports contractor payments separate from employee payroll, with the right tax treatment for 1099-style arrangements under Pakistani tax law, keeping your records clear for audits.
