Enter the gross labour paid to you for the booking — the amount before deductions, shown on your voucher and on the Time Report Summary at the top of your pay stub.

All commissions must include 13% HST. Commission includes but is not limited to payments received for COVID tests, mileage, travel, wardrobe and equipment, cars and pets.

How to pay

Commission payments can be made by Interac e-transfer to accounting@torontofilmextras.com.

In the e-transfer notes/comments box, please write your full name, the production title and the date you are sending the commission for.

If prompted for a password, please make all passwords either “tfx” or “tfxtfx”.

Documentation to send

All performers need to email a copy of the Voucher AND the Time Report Summary (the top portion of their pay stub) with their commission payment to accounting@torontofilmextras.com. If you don't have your Time Report Summary and your cheque was issued by EP Canada, a copy can be found at my.ep.com.

See the full fee and commission schedule for cancellation, no-show and late fees.
