Adding BG day-of, on set
If you have a production hire or a walk on, or just need to add a Background for their work day, you can do so using the Add BG button at the the top of the page:
From this pop-up, you'll be able to input their information. First, set the role at the top - select the correct role type and input the role name. The pay rates will pull from what's been set in the project, but you can edit those if the Background are receiving specialty rates.
The only things we need to onboard a BG are their first and last names, and email addresses. Phone numbers are optional, but we recommend adding them if you have them. If they're a minor, select the minor button to send them the appropriate start work. And select their correct union status from the drop down.
After a BG has been onboarded for the first time, their contact information will auto-fill going forward.
After they have been onboarded, they will receive an automatic invitation to register for Everyset and complete their start work, if they have not yet done so!
