BASIC DUES PAYMENT DEADLINE IS JANUARY 31 - LATE FEE APPLIES FEBRUARY 1
----------------------------------------------------------------

Equity basic membership dues of $67.50 were invoiced on November 1, 2013. The three-month grace period following this billing will end January 31. As of February 1, a $10.00 overdue fee will apply to any outstanding basic dues amount. Please disregard this message if you have already arranged payment of your basic dues.

In order to avoid payment of a late fee penalty, an Equity member must be in good standing as of January 31. There is still time to avoid the $10.00 penalty payment.

CHECK YOUR MEMBERSHIP STATUS:

Equity members may verify their membership status (and the amount of any dues owing) online at: http://www.caea.com/EquityWeb/MembersOnly/Redirect/ToMemberInformation.aspx

PAYMENT METHODS:

A basic dues payment may be made using any of the following methods: 

- Credit card (one time only): a form can be downloaded from http://www.caea.com/EquityWeb/EquityLibrary/Membership/OneTimeCreditCardPaymentForm.pdf

- Tele-banking through a bank or credit union: Select "Canadian Actors' Equity Association" (may be listed under Ontario) as a bill payee on a banking institution's website. Use your member number as the "account number." If a nine digit account number is required at bill registration use "0" to fill-in the empty spaces before your member number.

AUTOMATIC PAYMENT:

Members wishing to have future payments made automatically may use the following links for the appropriate forms:
- Automatic dues payment by debit card: http://www.caea.com/EquityWeb/EquityLibrary/Membership/Pre-AuthorizedDuesPaymentFormDEBIT.pdf

- Automatic dues payment by credit card: http://www.caea.com/EquityWeb/EquityLibrary/Membership/Pre-AuthorizedDuesPaymentCREDIT.pdf

For convenience, members may print their payment form and submit electronically via fax (416-867-9246) or scan-and-email to membership at caea.com, or mail to the address below.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

*** Please note that all agreements and contracts require that Equity members be in good standing as a condition of engagement. Terms introduced in the 2012-2015 CTA require a Theatre to confirm an Artist's membership standing directly with Equity prior to the start date of a CTA contract. If a member is found to be not in good standing, the Theatre may withdraw a contract offer without recourse by either the member or Equity.***
