Model voucher

Also called: job voucher

A voucher is a short form the client signs at the end of a job, confirming how many hours the model worked and on what terms.

How it works

In many markets the model brings the agency's voucher to a job, often in several copies. At the end the arrival and wrap times are filled in, the client signs, and one copy stays with the client, one goes to the agency and one to the model.

The agency invoices the client from the voucher. If the times are missing or there is no signature, overtime is hard to argue later.

More and more agencies now do this electronically, but the principle is the same: at the end of the job, what was done must be recorded.

In practice

At the end of the job the model takes out the agency voucher, writes in arrival at 8.00 and wrap at 18.00, and the client's representative signs. The model photographs it, leaves one copy with the client and sends another to the agency. When the invoice shows only eight hours, the agency adds two hours of overtime from the voucher.

What to watch for

  • Fill in the voucher before you leave, not the next day.
  • Photograph the signed voucher.
  • Check that overtime is entered.
