Sask Film Safety is an independent educational resource for technicians, crew, performers and background performers working in Saskatchewan film and television.
What this site is for
Use the pay calculator to check the hourly value of an offer, the time card to record your hours and prepare a labour invoice, and the guides to find safety information for a task. The aim is to make useful information easier to understand and act on.
The workplace situations describe ways to raise a concern about pay, safety or a change to the job. Each guide links to its sources and to contacts who can help.
Which requirements apply
Government requirements, union terms and the working standards we advocate for are identified separately. A useful agreement from another province does not automatically cover your job.
Sources are linked beside the advice. Check the original document and the agreement for your production, particularly when looking back at an older job.
Independent, and on the side of workers
Safe work, agreed pay and clear consent should be ordinary parts of a working day. Sask Film Safety takes that position openly. We want workers to recognize when something may be unfair and to support safer, fairer standards across the industry, so poor conditions are harder to normalize and people are less likely to be taken advantage of.
This is an educational resource, not a regulator, union, production company or official voice for the Saskatchewan industry. It cannot decide what a particular worker is legally owed or investigate a production.
Getting help with a production
This site does not take complaints or investigate allegations. The on-set situations are examples, not reports about named productions. Documented incidents are identified and linked to the regulator’s publication.
Use the contacts page to reach an organization that can advise you. Before sharing sensitive records, ask how your information will be handled.
The calculator has not had an independent Saskatchewan legal or payroll review. Its results are estimates to check against your agreement and the applicable rules. Read the calculation method.
