Doing the Paperwork...

In our last issue we included a copy of an LP-1 contract. Filing contracts is the first step in helping us to help you. With a filed contract, we can pursue on your behalf any problems you might have with incorrect payments, being canceled at the last minute, being videotaped, etc. Additionally, it will enable Pension contributions on your behalf.

All contracts should be on file at the Local before the date. You may mail or fax contracts to us, or stop by and drop them off. Should you need more forms, or assistance in filling them out, let us know. We also have LP-1’s available on disk (as well as programs to assist in payroll for leaders).

Pension fund contributions should be made out to AFM-EP Fund and should be sent to the Local; we will forward the checks to New York. That way, should any members of the band have questions about the Pension contributions, we will have a record of the amount and date.

Remember:

  • Make sure the contract is signed by both parties and dated.

  • Make sure the contract is completely filled out.

  • Make sure the contract is on file at the Local


Notice: New Policies For MPTF Paperwork

  • All leaders requesting MPTF funding will be required to show that they have a total understanding of the entire process before receiving approval.
  • We can’t devote continual staff time to filing forms; any incorrect forms will be rejected.
  • We will assist in a training session for each leader as necessary.
  • All required paperwork must be submitted to this office no later than 6 weeks prior to engagement.
Thank you for your understanding as we try to streamline this program.
