Multiple freelance workers — each of whom has a long working relationship with TNA — have told Sporting News over the past two weeks, on the condition of anonymity, that the wrestling company is well behind on paying the production staff and has shorted them on past dates.
Those workers are still owed money for the One Night Only pay-per-view tapings which took place Feb. 13-16 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., which concluded 60 days from publishing date.
The industry standard in television is that freelance workers should be paid within 30 days. Bigger entertainment companies such as ESPN and Fox pay within 14 days.
... Several people have said the accounting department has used a variety of excuses on why pay is always late. The most common is that the check has already been cut and was in the mail, only for people to not receive it for weeks on end or at all. Another excuse used is that the checks were delayed due to weather.
The production team member said that this is the third year in a row he and others have had to wait more than 60 days to receive payment. He and others are now telling other freelance personnel to not work for TNA.
