All background in film and TV are paid through a payroll company contracted by the production. You fill out a voucher for payment when you get to set.

ALWAYS keep a copy of your voucher. If you do not have access to it, take a Picture of it for your records. That will have the payroll company listed if you need to get in touch.

If the production is using a digital voucher system such as RABS, Elevate or Everyset, you can download a copy of your voucher for your records.

A check or direct deposit will be issued in 2-3 weeks from your workdate for film and television and about a month for commercials, as long as proper documentation has been provided.

For payroll Questions, You need to email the Payroll Company OR the Voucher Company.
