GETTING PAID!

• We do not pay talent until the client pays the agency, which is generally within thirty (30) and ninety (90) days.

• You are an independent contractor and responsible for reporting all of your taxes. Leighton Agency is not your employer; therefore you cannot list the agency or our clients to collect un-employment. If you file un-employment, you need to deactivate yourself from the agency.

• As an independent contractor, all Talent should maintain excellent records of their own work. Please keep record of all the information for your bookings. If you notice a job re-running, make note of when and where it was seen and notify Ruth.

• It‘s very important that you notify us immediately of any address changes. We do not pay for stop payments due to address changes. You will be charged.

• On union jobs (SAG or AFTRA) the clients normally will take the appropriate tax deductions. The union jobs will not be included on your 1099 form; appropriate tax forms should be received from each client. Remember any agency commission is a deduction (20% on non-union work and 10% on union work). All union talent pay 10% on all broadcast jobs.
