Dues are calculated using a formula approved by the membership. The quarterly dues for any classification is equal to 8% of the minimum weekly scale rate for that classification, plus the IATSE per capita fee (currently, about $47).

For example, let's say your classification scale rate was $1,000/week. Eight percent of that rate ($80) plus the IA per capita ($47) would equal $127 - that would be the amount you are billed quarterly.

Dues are billed directly to you each quarter. They are not deducted from your paycheck. We send you an invoice and you send it back with a check.
