Background Payroll is here!
Processing payroll for background actors has always been an unnecessarily tedious task for productions. Data handoffs and constant back and forth with payroll processors meant errors and delays were part of the routine, until now.

For years, productions and studios have trusted Everyset to simplify some of the most time-consuming workflows on set, from background casting to Digital Vouchers. Now, we are taking the next step forward.
We are proud to announce the launch of Everyset’s Background Payroll, a solution that allows Accounting teams to process payroll for background actors from our intuitive platform in one sitting.
This is not just a product launch. It is about tightening the process and cutting the unnecessary air out of payroll workflows so productions can move faster and operate with confidence.
Why Payroll for Background Actors Matters
Productions juggle edits and approvals for thousands of timecards, often with manual and insufficient checks and balances. The result is costly errors, delayed payments, and wasted hours for Accounting teams and production offices.
Everyset’s Background Payroll changes that by delivering payroll precision on demand. As soon as timecards are approved, the system instantly produces a fully calculated edit for accountants to review without waiting on a third-party payroll processor. Union-validated rules and state-specific fringe rates are applied automatically, so reviews and approvals happen faster and with greater confidence.
And we are not removing the human touch. Our expert team is available 24/7 to answer questions and help resolve any irregularities that might surface during review.
That means faster approvals, fewer errors, and actor payments that arrive on time.
One Platform for Vouchers and Payroll
Instead of relying on disconnected tools and teams, Background Payroll brings everything into a single platform. Accountants can review and approve Digital Vouchers, plus process payroll in one sitting, while studios can get access to hot costs and audit-ready reporting long after a project has wrapped.

Support You Can Count On
Everyset’s Background Payroll is more than software. Every production is assigned a dedicated payroll coordinator who actively monitors your show, ensures payroll is processed correctly, and resolves issues as they come up. An expert is available the moment you need help, backed by 24/7 live support from specialists who know production inside and out.
Setting a New Standard for Hollywood
Trusted by Netflix, CBS, Amazon, Apple TV+, and more, Everyset has already transformed how productions hire, onboard, and calculate payroll for background actors. With Background Payroll, we have simplified the last piece of the workflow by allowing Accounting teams to finalize and process payroll in just a few easy steps.
Productions move faster. Accountants are empowered to work quickly and autonomously to complete payroll in one sitting, freeing them to focus attention where it is needed most. And finally, background actors get paid on time.
That is the promise of payroll precision on demand.
