Features

Every Stage of SAG‑AFTRA
Production Paperwork

Import your signatory data once and let the plugin carry it through every document — starting, production, and wrap — without re-entering the same information.

📤

Signatory Application Import

Import your SAG-AFTRA signatory application data — production company, signatory officer, agreement type, and project details — once. That data pre-fills every document the plugin generates, so you never retype your company name, address, or agreement terms across dozens of forms.

📄

Starting Documents

Generate the signatory documents required before a production entity can hire SAG-AFTRA performers. The plugin prepopulates forms with your imported signatory data — including the Low Budget Agreement, Letter of Adherence, and related starting paperwork — so you're ready to submit without building each document from scratch.

📌

Production Documents

Manage both on-set and administrative documents throughout the shoot. Time sheets, deal memos, daily contracts, minor performer permits, Taft-Hartley reports, additional compensation forms — all logged by performer, date, and document type, with status tracking from draft through filed.

💴

Deposit Tracking

Record your SAG-AFTRA bond deposit: amount paid, payment date, and the agreement it covers. The deposit dashboard tracks the current status — paid, pending return, or returned — with a running history so you always know where your deposit stands at any point in the production lifecycle.

📥

Deposit Return Documentation

When production wraps, generate the return request documentation directly from the plugin. Your signatory data and deposit records populate the forms automatically. Track the submission date, follow-up status, and final return confirmation — all in one place without digging through emails or prior paperwork.

🎬

Multi-Production Management

Manage paperwork for multiple productions from a single WordPress installation. Each production has its own document log, deposit record, and status tracking — with a dashboard view showing the state of every active project at a glance.

👥

Per-Performer Document Log

Log documents by performer — deal memos, Taft-Hartley reports, time sheets, and additional agreements — with each record linked to the performer's name, role, and engagement dates. Search and filter by performer or document type to pull any record instantly.

📥

Document Status Tracking

Every document moves through a clear lifecycle: Draft → Submitted → Filed → Confirmed. Status is visible at a glance across the production dashboard so nothing falls through the cracks between your production office and SAG-AFTRA.

Style Builder

Control the visual appearance of any public-facing output — colors, fonts, header layout, and table styles — from a live-preview settings panel. No code required, and fully covered in the included PDF manual.

Getting Started

From Install to
First Document

01

Install & Import Your Signatory Application

Upload the plugin ZIP in WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New. Activate it and enter your Payhip license key. Then import your SAG-AFTRA signatory application data — production company name, signatory officer, agreement type, address, and project details. This data pre-fills every document the plugin generates from this point forward.

02

Generate Starting Documents

With your signatory data imported, generate the starting documents your production entity needs before hiring SAG-AFTRA performers. The plugin populates forms with your imported data — you review, confirm, and mark each document as submitted. No rebuilding the same information across multiple forms.

03

Log Production Documents as You Shoot

As production moves forward, log each document by performer and document type — deal memos, time sheets, Taft-Hartley reports, minor permits, additional compensation. Track status from Draft through Filed. The production documents section keeps your full paperwork log organized by performer, date, and type for the entire shoot.

04

Manage Your Deposit Through Return

Record your SAG-AFTRA bond deposit when it's paid. The deposit dashboard tracks the amount, date, and current status. When production wraps, generate the return request documentation directly from the plugin — your signatory and deposit records populate automatically — and track the return through submission and confirmation.

Common Questions

FAQ

What SAG-AFTRA agreements does the plugin support? +
The plugin is designed around the agreements most commonly used by independent producers — the Low Budget Agreement, Modified Low Budget Agreement, and Ultra Low Budget Agreement. The signatory import works with the standard SAG-AFTRA signatory application fields regardless of which agreement you're filing under.
What does 'signatory application import' actually do? +
When you import your signatory application data, the plugin stores your production company name, signatory officer, address, agreement type, and project details. Every document the plugin helps you generate — starting documents, production paperwork, and deposit return forms — is pre-filled with this information automatically. You enter it once; it flows through everything.
What are the Starting Documents? +
Starting documents are the foundational SAG-AFTRA paperwork your production entity must have in place before hiring union performers — the signatory agreement, Letter of Adherence, and the forms required to establish your project under the applicable SAG-AFTRA contract. The plugin generates these using your imported signatory data and tracks their submission status.
What production documents does the plugin handle? +
Production documents include both on-set records (time sheets, daily contracts, minor performer permits, safety acknowledgments) and administrative filings (deal memos, Taft-Hartley reports, additional compensation agreements, schedule changes). All documents are logged by performer, date, and document type with status tracking from Draft through Filed.
How does the deposit return management work? +
Record your bond deposit when it's paid — amount, date, and the agreement it covers. The plugin tracks the status through the return process. When you're ready to request the return, the deposit return documentation generator pulls your signatory data and deposit records to pre-fill the required forms. You can then track submission, follow-up, and the final confirmation all from the deposit management panel.
Does this replace my production coordinator or attorney? +
No — and it's not designed to. Film Union Paperwork organizes and tracks your SAG-AFTRA documentation workflow from one place. It does not provide legal advice, ensure compliance, or replace the expertise of a production coordinator, entertainment attorney, or union payroll service. For questions about which agreement applies to your project, always consult SAG-AFTRA directly or work with a qualified professional.
