Artists are compensated per commissioned artwork at a flat rate, as outlined below. Each artwork type includes a suggested completion time for workflow efficiency, and a maximum time allowable to ensure the flat-rate pay remains at or above Ontario minimum wage ($17.60/hr).

Artists must accurately log all hours worked on each commission.

These suggested completion times represent the expected duration for efficient production based on standard workflow and live caricature performance.

Artists are expected to complete commissioned artwork within these timeframes. Consistently exceeding the suggested completion time may result in:

Artists are approved to work up to the maximum allowable time per artwork, as shown in the table above.

Any time beyond the maximum allowable must be pre-approved in writing by management (text or email is sufficient) before the additional time is worked.

Time worked without prior approval beyond the maximum allowable is considered unauthorized.

Unauthorized hours:

Artists must not extend time based solely on personal pacing or stylistic preference without prior approval.

Note: Maximum allowable times ensure that flat-rate compensation never falls below Ontario minimum wage.

All hours worked must be accurately recorded and will be compensated in accordance with Ontario labour laws.

Compensation will not be reduced if additional time is required to complete a commission within the maximum allowable time. However, consistently exceeding expected timeframes without prior approval will impact eligibility for future commission assignments.
