Your Stewards and OSLOs

ACTRA’s contracts are administered and enforced by staff Stewards. Commercial Stewards deal with NCA issues and IPA Stewards with film, television, animation, web, gaming, audio and everything else. Go to the Contact Us page of our website for the names and contact information for our Stewards.

If you have a problem on a specific production, go to the What’s Shooting page to find out the Steward’s name and contact information for that particular production and email them with the details. Or logon to the AMS Member Portal and log your issue using our electronic ticketing system called Helpdesk.

On-Set Liaison Officers (called OSLOs) are full ACTRA members who visit sets by Steward’s request, typically if there are minors, stunts or large numbers of background performers. OSLOs are not qualified to interpret the agreements. They function as the eyes and ears of the Steward and report back to them.
 

Performers’ Rights Society (PRS)

ACTRA Performers Rights’ Society administers the payment of residual monies owed to members for the re-use of their work. You can arrange for direct deposit of these payments to your bank account or, alternatively, choose to receive one paper cheque per year with all your residual earnings combined.
