The insurance premium for productions under the NCA is calculated as 1% of gross performer earnings, including performers and stunt performers requiring individual coverage.
Gross performer earnings are the sum of the daily performer rate plus buyout.
Premium payment is automatically administered through major production payroll houses, which will calculate and remit the required premium monthly. Producers should confirm coverage with their payroll house.
AFBS and ACTRA have worked with the major administration production payroll houses to make premium payment a seamless part of the existing insurance and retirement remittance process.
No application required (for commercials shot in Canada).
