A model’s schedule for the coming weeks: confirmed jobs, options, fittings, travel. The booker keeps it, not the model.
Why it exists
An agency answers a client from the chart. The client asks about a date, the booker looks and replies on the spot — a request that takes a day to answer goes to another agency.
What goes in it
Confirmed jobs, options at their various levels, fittings, travel days — and your own commitments: classes, exams, trips, a second job. The last part is entered on your word, so the chart is only as accurate as what you have told them.
Why that is your responsibility
A model whose plans surface at the last minute loses options first: the booker stops putting her forward because the confirmation might collapse. The reverse holds too — a predictable schedule increases the number of offers by itself.
Working rule: anything that will take a day goes to your booker the moment you know about it, not the week before.
The chain
Client request, option in the chart, confirmation, fitting, shoot, payment. Every step shows up in the chart, and the same record is used later to check how many days you worked and what has been paid for.
Chart and money
Payment statements are built from it: dates, rates, commission withheld. Where your memory and the record disagree, the record wins — so keep your own copy of the dates, even if it is only notes on your phone.
