How to Receive Payment and Pay Commissions

AABP and Non-Union Talent

Address for Payment Forms: Your home address should be used instead of the agency's address for cheque delivery.
Commission Due Upon Receipt: Any payment received from agency-related work incurs a commission owed, payable upon receipt.
Important Note: Email all commission paperwork to admin@mltalent.com on the same day you receive your cheque to prevent delays in future bookings.

Upon Receiving Payment at Home

Immediate Action Needed: Once you receive your cheque at home, follow these steps promptly:
- Capture images of all received paperwork (cheque, stubs, daily pay stubs) with a smartphone or scanner.
- Email ALL received items to admin@mltalent.com. Include clear copies of vouchers indicating gross payment amounts. Do not deposit the cheque until after sending the copies.
Subject Line and Process: Use "SEND ME AN INVOICE" in the subject line when emailing your paperwork. Wait for an invoice from us before making payment.

Upon Receipt of Invoice: Click on 'view invoice' and use the top right corner to make your payment securely with a credit card or Visa Debit.
Benefit of Credit Card Payment: No fees incurred, potential points collection, instant payment linkage to your invoice, and a receipt for tax purposes.
