Sound Recordings

Keep track of overdubs and hours, as performers are paid per side (overdub) or per hour, depending on whichever is greater. 

Be sure to collect each performer’s W-4 and I-9 forms and Session Report and provide those to your payroll company to ensure payment is made on time to avoid late fees being assessed.

Payments must be made within 21 calendar days. Please send all talent checks (issued to each performer with proper tax deductions) as well as the health and retirement payment (issued to SAG-AFTRA Health Plan, AFTRA Retirement) directly to the local office nearest where the work was performed.

If you have questions throughout any of the signatory process, please contact your SAG-AFTRA Business Representative at (323) 549-6864.

Thank you for working with SAG-AFTRA.
