Referral List

Local 745 keeps and maintains a roster of qualified and experienced freelancers, as our contracted employers have agreed to give preference of employment to those referred to them by IATSE Local 745. However, being listed does not guarantee employment.

​

All individuals on the Referral List are subject to the same CBA guidelines, which include yearly raises, health and welfare contributions, annuity, pension contributions, and parking reimbursement.

  • Placement on the referral list is determined by our contracted employers. You can find all contracts on our website. Additional vetting by Local members and a probationary period may be required.

  • All referents must keep a current email and physical address on file. A post office box is not acceptable. 

  • You must reside within 100 miles of Minneapolis-St. Paul (Minnesota Referral) or in the state of Iowa (Iowa Referral). Proof of residency is required.

  • A yearly Referral Fee is required (2024: $72). This renews each January. Invoices are due within 30 days.

  • A maintenance fee of 1.5% of gross contract earnings is charged to all individuals working for employers. This fee must be paid to Local 745 to remain eligible for referral, either through employer deduction or billed quarterly.

  • Payments are due within 30 days of the invoice date. Invoices overdue by more than 30 days will incur a $25 late fee, with a 14-day payment notice sent via email. Failure to pay outstanding fees within 45 days from the initial billing will result in removal from the Minnesota/Iowa Referral List. Reinstatement requires payment of all past due amounts plus a $100 reinstatement fee.

  • Referents can work a maximum of 30 days within a rolling two-year period for any one employer. Exceeding this limit requires application for Union membership, which includes a $500 application fee ($100 for International, $400 for Local, $200 for utility/statistician).
