WRITERS’ ROOM SETUP

The FES Production Executive, in consultation with FES Business Affairs, will send over a payment schedule based on the contracts they’ve executed with the writers. Usually, all payments will be handled by the production. On some occasions (i.e. with development rooms or international productions), FES will process the first few weeks of payments before handing off payment responsibilities to production. 

The Producer is required to tag the location of where the work is taking place with each payment on the schedule. This should be done in collaboration with your FES Production Executive and Payroll company to maximize tax incentives and ensure income tax accuracy. 

WRITERS’ ROOM P-CARDS: Producer should set up P-Cards in Cashet during Greenlight. Producer should identify who the Showrunner’s Assistant or Writer’s Assistant is for P-Card assignment. If not possible, the FES Production Executive will work internally to source P-Cards that will be issued from FES Finance. P-Cards must be reconciled weekly with the production accountant. All itemized receipt originals should be tracked and submitted to the show Production Accountant for reconciliation. 

Script Coordinator Packet will be provided by FES Production.
