National Insurance contributions:

 NI contributions are the responsibility of the Production Company (the employer) and not The Agency.

We can include your NI contributions on our invoice and act as a collection service and pass then on to HMRC at no charge. However should you wish, you can pay NI contributions yourself to HMRC. Artistes are employed by the producer and not by the Agency.

Upgrades:

Artistes may be booked in a particular category and in the course of filming may be used to make a higher grade of contribution. In such cases, nothing shall preclude the Artiste's right to be upgraded. All negotiations should be via the Agency.

Health and Safety:

All Health and Safety legislation and standards must be observed and adhered to by employers.

Travel:

Travel days will be charged at a minimum of half the daily rate, unless otherwise agreed. All travel expenses, subsistence and accommodation (where applicable); will be paid by the production company.

Payments:

All payments must be made to Ray Knight Casting Ltd. client account upon receipt of invoice. Direct payments to the Artiste must be notified to the Agency immediately. The Agency has obtained the consent of all Artistes to enter into contracts and accept payments on their behalf.
