Exactly. Decimal time fits payroll neatly, 6 minutes per tenth keeps overtime calcualtions clean and cuts rounding fights. It mirrors the money ladder idea too, base 10 all the way makes totals and rates line up, and you dont need to juggle odd fractions :). In practice, 7h 36m becomes 7.6 hours and at 40 an hour thats' 304, done.

Film Crews don’t work regular hours when on location… There’s a lot of overtime involved…
Yep, location shoots are messy, crews dont run standard shifts, lots of o;vertime and complex penalties.
Decimal time keeps it clean for time and and half, double time, like 12h48m becomes 12.8 so base for 8.0 then 4.0 at 1.5x and the last 0.8 at 2x.
Would your value ladder include sub cent units so these splits pay out exactly with no rounding fights :)?
I haven’t gone too deep into figuring payroll, but I’m sure it will be fine to round to the closest Decimal Cent… A Decimal Cent will be the same as what a Penny is today…
