Licensing

California law requires any company that procures or offers to procure employment or auditions, or that provides artist management services, direction or counseling to develop an artist's career, for any of which they collect a fee in advance, to post a $10,000 bond. Companies that charge in advance for such services as registering or listing the artist for employment, photographs, videotapes, other promotional materials, costumes, lessons or training, or auditions are also considered advance fee talent services and are subject to this bonding requirement.

To obtain bonding information, write to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, Department of Industrial Relations, Legal Section, at P.O. Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142 or call (415) 703-4846 or by email to DLSE.licensing@dir.ca.gov The website address is www.dir.ca.gov

Comments and Analysis

We believe this company may be required to post a $10,000 bond and register with the Industrial Relations Board as an advance fee talent service. Any company that requires a fee in advance to procure or offer to procure employment, provide management services, give direction or counseling to develop the artist's career is required to be licensed with the Department of Industrial Relations. To obtain licensing information write to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, Department of Industrial Relations Legal Section Section at P.O. Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142 or call (415) 703-4846. The website address is www.dir.ca.gov. The Labor Commissioner will also pursue claims against model/talent agencies on behalf of customers. California laws relating to "advance fee talent services" allow 10 days to cancel contracts without penalty or obligation. In some cases, refunds must be provided within 48 hours, or the company is required to pay the artist an additional sum equal to the original amount of the fee. Cancellation procedures should be outlined in your contract. We routinely suggest you read and understand all contract provisions, including cancellation and refund policies before making a buying decision. Keep in mind there are probably no guarantees of employment. Your success in the industry will depend on your own talent, perseverance, and ability to utilize your resources.
