Union & Non-Union Talent Management

Here is how this works in practice. Talent running in Peru operates without a SAG-AFTRA-equivalent collective bargaining structure — engagements are governed instead by the Ley General del Trabajo (the country's General Labor Code), the contract framework that ANACTP (Asociación Nacional de Actores del Perú) advocates for, and the project-by-project rate norms that have emerged inside Lima's commercial, telenovela, and feature ecosystems.

Here is the short of it. Our team translates these instruments into production-ready contracts for principals, day-players, extras, and stunt performers working out of Lima's San Isidro and Surco studio cluster, the Cusco unit base for Sacred Valley shoots, and Arequipa or Trujillo for regional productions. We sort each engagement against published rate ranges, register EsSalud health-insurance inputs for dependent talent, make sure SCTR workplace insurance covers stunt and high-risk action work, and confirm working-time entitlements before the first call sheet circulates.

Here is the breakdown. During production we run a daily compliance loop that tracks call times, meal breaks, turnaround between consecutive days, and overtime triggers against the General Labor Code's hour caps and the extra altitude-rest protocols Andean shoots need. Time sheets reconcile to payroll with statutory deductions for EsSalud, the AFP or ONP pension systems, IGV 18% VAT where talent invoice through RUC tax registration, and ANACTP membership dues where applicable.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Records includes signed bilingual contracts, DAFO-friendly rate evidence for productions claiming Ibermedia or Ley 26370 development support, and an audit trail suitable for completion-bond and TV networks delivery review with Latina, América Televisión, and global sites. Disputes are routed through Peruvian entertainment counsel before they reach the labour tribunal (Poder Judicial laboral), scaling from a single Lima booking to multi-hundred crew counts across the Sacred Valley.
