What is a voucher?

Modified on Sat, 4 Jul at 12:13 PM

A voucher is your official record of the work you performed on set. Think of it as your timecard.


It documents important information such as:

  • Your work date
  • Your hours worked
  • Meal penalties (if applicable)
  • Bumps or additional compensation
  • Payroll information


Depending on the production, you'll complete either a digital voucher or paper voucher

Many productions now use digital systems that allow you to complete paperwork before arriving on set.

If you're issued a paper voucher, always keep a copy for your records. If your production uses a digital voucher system, download a copy once your workday has been finalized.

You'll need your voucher if you have questions about your paycheck, unemployment, or tax documents.
