California Labor Code Compliance
Pursuant to Labor Code §201.6 and the Photoshoot Pay Easement Act (effective 09/05/2019), print shoot models must be paid by the next regular payday following job completion. Late payment can result in penalties of up to 30 days of wages (§203). These policies are in place to protect both our talent and our clients.
“A print shoot employee is entitled to receive payment of the wages earned and unpaid at the time of termination by the next regular payday.” “Next regular payday” means the day designated by the employer, pursuant to Section 204, for payment of wages earned during the payroll period in which the termination occurs; and that failure to do so can subject the employer to a waiting penalty equal to the employee’s daily wage for up to 30 days (Labor Code §203).
Model Protection
We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and harassment-free environment for our models.
