STEP 4. JOBS - How does it work? (rates, payment, terms and all that sort of thing)

1. Clients have the option of either providing their own talent or using one (or more) of our Presenters.
2. Clients are asked to shortlist 2-3 CLIVE Presenters.
3. If you are shortlisted by the client we then contact you for your availability on the shoot day (usually the first Thursday of the month), your current performance rate (we do not set your rate but provide guidelines) and the client details (to avoid any potential conflicts of interest).
4. We aim to have a minimum 14 - 28 day notice period before shoots to give everyone plenty of notice.
5. Your performance rate - you provide your current rate based on:
   • Standard rate per 30 second clip/ 1 hour studio time.
   • *Web only -  worldwide release - unlimited usage.
   • Include GST, any agency rates or other expenses.  You are responsible for paying any agency fees.
   • *Note: Our software system does not facilitate talent loadings based on video views/ plays over a period (ie conventional mass media models).
   • Note: Your performance rate is never publicly displayed.
6. The client then selects which Presenter they wish to use and you will then be notified of a confirmed booking.  In most cases we will try and make this a minimum 14 days.
7. We will send you shoot details - confirmed times; wardrobe, client details; script (if available) etc.
8. Shoot day - please turn up at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled call to the Production Manager.
