The rates in these contracts are the rates Crew Pay validates every invoice against. There is no second place to type a number.
Which paper for which person
Contract for Services — Crew Agreement
Self-employed crew invoicing in their own name. Paid gross; they handle their own tax and NI. Box rental separate.
Crew Agreement (PAYE)
Employed on a fixed term. Fee plus holiday pay through payroll, itemised statement, pension auto-enrolment. No invoicing except rental.
Services Agreement
Limited companies supplying a team or a package. Company insurance required; production insurance does not cover them. 30-day terms.
Getting this wrong is expensive. Status is a question of fact, not of which template you picked. Crew Pay records the reasoning behind each choice so it can be defended later. CPY-Q38
What issuing does
Builds the key terms from the deal memo, the DooD and the department budget line.
Attaches the start pack for this production, including the site acknowledgement if the location needs one.
Sends one link. The crew member reads, signs, and the UPM countersigns.
Publishes the rates to Crew Pay so invoices can be validated from day one.
Posts the committed cost to the budget — an issued contract is money spoken for.
