Postal Disruption and Writer Payments: Notice to Producers and Payroll Companies

postal strike notice

This is a reminder to producers and payroll companies that notwithstanding the current strike at Canada Post, the timelines for payments to writers, story editors, and story consultants as set out in the IPA have not changed. Payments will continue to be due within 30 days of receipt of material for shows that are not greenlit, and within 15 days for shows that are greenlit, or in production.
 

Fringe remittances on those fees will also continue to be due on the 15th of the month following the earning of the fees.

  
Please make alternate arrangements to avoid interest on late payments. Interest will not be waived due to events at Canada Post. Please refer to this guide for alternate payment methods.

 

Thank you.
