Hours and turnaround

Crew Overtime Calculator

Split a crew day into its BCCFU bands and get the straight-time-equivalent hours. Sixth and seventh days included. Hours, not dollars.

Calculation last checked

The day

Which day of this person’s work week

Day of the work week

The work week is any five consecutive days out of seven and differs per person (4.02), so a Saturday is not automatically a sixth day. Ask, or check the deal memo.

Result

Enter a call and a wrap and the bands appear here.

Sources and method

This returns hours, not money. Every figure in Article Four is a multiple of the Employee’s straight time contracted hourly rate — a number this site never asks for and has no business holding. What you get is the hours in each band and the straight-time-equivalent total, which is what payroll multiplies by whatever the rate actually is. It also means the answer stays right when the rate changes.

Article 4.06 — days one through five of the work week. Hours after eight pay at one and a half times, up to and including the twelfth hour; after twelve at two times, up to and including the fifteenth; after fifteen at three times.

Article 4.03 — the sixth day worked. The first eight hours are already at one and a half times, not straight time. After eight it is two times to the twelfth hour, then three times.

Article 4.04 — the seventh day worked. Two times for the first eight hours, three times after that. There is no straight-time band at all.

Article 4.02 — the work week is any five consecutive days out of any seven, and each Employee may have a different and distinct one. That is why the tool asks which day this is instead of working it out: a Saturday is not automatically a sixth day, and this site takes no dates.

Article 4.05 — time is counted in tenths of an hour, and any part of a tenth is paid as a whole one, so rounding is up. A day that starts on one calendar day and runs into the next is credited entirely to the day it started.

Article 4.08 — an over-scale Employee may have agreed that pay above scale is applied against overtime. Where that applies the hours are unchanged; whether they are paid on top is not. The tool says so rather than implying the number is always additive.

This is crew under BCCFU, and that is not a detail. Performers are under UBCP/ACTRA, whose overtime carries a Maximum Compounding Effect provision (A1204) with no BCCFU equivalent at all. Running a performer through this produces a number that looks authoritative and is not theirs.
