JTA Standard Business Practices for Professional Actors Thank you for trusting us with your aspirations, goals, and livelihood while we trust your talent and professionalism. The following are several important aspects of our business. Please review so that we can be in better partnership with each other. Photos/Resumes It is imperative that we have current photos/resumes here in your file. Photos are pulled for specific jobs on an almost daily basis. If we don’t have yours, you won’t be submitted. Vouchers (also known as Production Reports) You fill out a voucher upon completion of every job. It contains information used to bill the job correctly. · Production Company Information · Hours Worked · Mileage and Travel Time · Attach any relevant receipts Vouchers must be submitted to JTA within three (3) business days. If we do not receive a voucher within three days, we will bill a session fee only. Click this link to download a Voucher Form. VOUCHER .pdf SAG Contracts When on a SAG job, complete the contract to have checks mailed to JTA. First and foremost, we must make sure you’ve been paid properly. If you don’t have an agent listed on the contract, the union will consider you an independent contractor. If there is a problem with payment, we cannot go to the paymaster on your behalf. In some cases, the 10% agent’s fee will be added on top of your base pay. If JTA is not listed as your agent on the contract, you pay your commission out of your pocket instead. Also, we need a copy of your check for our records to keep track of cycle dates, markets, etc. to determine if you are being paid appropriate residuals. It is never, ever in your best interest to have the checks sent to your own address. Commissions Commissions are to be sent to us within five (5) business days. Failure to pay commissions is a breach of your contract with us. More and more business is being conducted via the Internet (whether we like it or not!). We need e-mail addresses on everyone we represent. Please check your e-mail at least once a day. Website Check out our talent book on this website. If your current photo is not on the website please let us know. Inactive File We don’t want to have an Inactive File. But unfortunately it’s where you go when we are forced to become inactive in our representation of you because we have not been supplied the marketing materials required: photos, resumes, tapes, etc. We can’t properly and effectively represent you without them. Thank You Thank you for taking the necessary time to review our needs in order to represent you to the best of our ability. Ultimately, we must be in partnership with each other. If we are, then we both can be successful.
