Net 30

Recently I had to wait over 45 days to receive a check from a production company out of New York. It's bad enough that you have to wait 30 days for a check after the last day of shooting. This was the longest I had to wait for a production check and dealing with the accounting department was horrible. It's just common courtesy to let your crew know if its their policy to wait over 30 days for a check. For TV spots net 30 is the norm. I've spoke to some crew members who have stated that Televised Sporting events can take up to 45-90 days to receive a check. I don't known many crew members who could afford to wait over 30 days to get a check. Net 30 just sucks.
