Referral Rules


All referents must keep a current e-mail address on file with the IATSE Local 796, and accept IATSE Local 796 emails.

The 1% referral fee will be paid by enrolling in employer payroll withholding.

When a freelancer sighns the Withholding form for payment of the referral fee, employers will deduct 1% of gross wages from all applicable paychecks and pay that amount to the local. Such technicians will remain on the IATSE Local 796 referral list until they request to be removed.

Send all payments and ONLY payments to:

IATSE Local 796 Lockbox
P.O. Box 202764
Dallas, TX 75320-2764

IATSE 796 does not read any correspondence sent to the bank lockbox address above. All correspondences must be sent to the Houston address. The Houston mailing address and any contact information can be found on our website at www.istse796.org.

Because all contracted employers have agreed to give preference of hiring to those on the referral list, removal from the referral roster may result in the loss of already booked and future contract work.
