Yes. We capture union or guild affiliation and member ID per crew member (BECTU, IATSE 600, 52, 80, Teamsters 817, non-union, and the rest) so you can filter by it on the way in and your payroll provider can handle dues on the way out.
The UK, Europe, and the US. Hours, roles, and union affiliation work the same way in each. Overtime and holiday-pay rules are applied by your payroll provider.

Pounds, euros, or dollars. The page picks one from where you are and you can change it with the switcher; whichever you pick is what you are invoiced in. These are fixed local prices rather than a live conversion, so the number on the page is the number on the invoice.
You can export every timecard you have collected as a CSV at any time. Crew can export their own profiles and hours too.
