Contract Services Support

Contract Services, also known as CSATF, is a nonprofit organization established by the major studios and Hollywood unions to administer certain aspects of the collective bargaining agreements between Producers and Unions. Contract Services administers rosters like the Industry Experience Roster and IATSE Television Commercial Roster. Contract Services also provides mandatory safety training and harassment prevention training, offers non-mandatory skills training and operates other programs that benefit the film and television industry. For more information about Contract Services, visit www.csatf.org.

To find out if your classification is part of a roster or if you have Contract Services training requirements, visit the Contract Services Industry Hub and click “Search Industry Professionals.”

Using the drop-down menus, you can see all Local Unions and job classifications that are either part of the Industry Experience Roster (IER), the Local 884 Teachers Availability List, or a non-roster classification that has required training. You can also search the IATSE Television Commercial Roster (TCR) to see if your classification is on the TCR.

For any additional questions, visit Contract Services.

When you apply for union roster placement (Industry Experience Roster) or upgrading with Contract Services, you will need to provide proof of days worked. Proof of days worked is typically an employment verification letter, also known as a Contract Services Letter, which captures and reports hours or days worked.

You will need to provide verification of work experience (Contract Services letter) in the industry when you apply for placement or upgrade on an industry roster (e.g., the Industry Experience Roster, the IATSE Television Commercial Roster or the Local 884 Teacher Availability List) or for access to training for “non-roster” classifications. In most cases, you demonstrate work experience by providing verification from your employer, which you can do for EP-paid shows through myEP. (See instructions at the top of the page.)
