NEW RATES FOR IPA PERMITS
New Independent Production Agreement (IPA) permit fee rates are in effect for work performed on or after July 18, 2007.
This is the first increase in IPA permit fees in 12 years. Commercial permit fees changed in 2003.
IPA permit fees are charged to performers who do not pay working dues when working in ACTRA’s jurisdiction. Such performers include ACTRA Apprentices, ACTRA Additional Background Performers, and Non-Members. When an Apprentice Member attains Full Membership, s/he begins to pay working dues, so the permit fees no longer apply.
The IPA is negotiated on behalf of all performers who work on an ACTRA set, whether they are dues paying members or not.
Permit fees and Full members’ dues provide the financing necessary to support ACTRA’s work and programs, including negotiating and enforcing agreements, organizing, research, political and public policy outreach, campaigns for Canadian programming and member services.
AS OF JULY 18, 2007, THE FOLLOWING IPA PERMIT RATES WILL BE IN EFFECT
NEW RATES:
Principal Actor:
First week: $260
Second week: $130
Actor:
First week: $210
Second week: $90
