Gaffer Commission

Gaffers or Key Grips are able to earn a commission for bringing in new business to the shop. Alternatively, you can also put your equipment onto the job.

Commission

The commission is equal to 20% of the net profit of the rental. Reimbursed expenses such as fuel, mileage, tolls, and sub-rentals are subtracted from the total cost of the rental.

The only rules for the commission are:

• Discounts must remain minimal, no more than 20% on standard pricing.
• Can't receive a commission for jobs Matt or Ryan has directly recommended them for.
• Rental Manager has to be informed they would like to receive the commission, it will not be assumed. This can be done at any time but ideally before the job is created.
• Commission invoices will be paid out immediately.
• Commission can be applied to any size job.

Referrals

We give referrals to people who reach out online to other folks and recommend them us as a client.

These refferals are $25 Amazon gift cards and can only be given out if the client uses us as a vendor.

Your Equipment

We're happy to put your equipment on the job and you can do so even if the discount exceeds 20%. You'll receive 100% of the rental and we will pay any equipment rentals Net 7 as long as it is clearly listed on your invoice.

There are a few caveats with putting your equipment onto a job.

• Can't be done for a job you have been directly recommended for.
• Limited to only the Gaffer and Key Grip.
• Equipment being provided cannot exceed 75% of the total rental. At that point you should just subrent the missing gear from us and charge the client directly.
• If the client goes from not being a direct rec from Matt to your own client you are then able to add your own gear

When you provide your gear to us we will need to decide if we are able to discount your gear for the job as needed, or if you would like discounts further than 20% approved.

Submitting Bills for Commission

For Bolt Employees Only

In order for the Gaffers to be paid you will need to create a purchase order for the commission so they know how much to bill. You will create a purchase order in Rentalworks equal to the commission amount. Calculate the commission by opening a new Commission form and insert all the data into the spreadsheet using the invoice.

• Go to Agent > Purchase Order

• Check to see if there is a PO exisiting for them, for this job. This would be due to subrentals. If there is no existing PO, Click New

• Select the Gaffer from the Customer List

If they don't show up in the list, go to Agent > Vendor > Make sure they are selected as Sub-Misc in the Activity Type Section (Middle Right of the screen)

• If a name does not already exist, use this template JOB NAME - COMMISSION

• Check the Misc Activity checkbox in the Activity section.

• Go to the Misc section and select Commission as an item, put in the total commission they earned from this job.

• Copy and paste the commission form data into the note.

• In the Misc tab of the order, click the box below the scroller that says "All Miscellaneous items have been completed"

• Send Purchase order to the Gaffer

Make sure their name is in as a company contact and email it to them.
