JOSHUA WARNER STUDIO TRUTHS
Here are truths we’ve created to hold each other accountable. We are always open to revision or additions. You can email directly or submit at our Anonymous Feedback Form.
All Calls
everyone shall always be treated with respect regardless of race, color, sex, gender, sexual preferences, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin.
hourly employees will be punctual and ready to work for the call time. If running late, they will let the crew lead as soon as they know and will make up any missed time either by shortening meal break or staying later.
breaks are a break - work stops for all breaks. contractors will be punctual when break is over and ready to work.
We believe in honest, direct communication — and that starts within our team. If a concern or issue comes up, it should be brought to Josh Warner, the Studio Manager, or the Project Lead, but never to the client. By keeping internal matters in-house, we maintain professionalism, protect trust, and ensure a unified client experience.
Shop Calls
minimum hours for a call: none
breaks: take as you need, at good stopping points of your project.
meal breaks: for every 8 hour call, you may take a 1 hour unpaid meal break or 30 minute paid break.

On Site Calls
minimum hours for an on-site call: 4 hour minimum
minimum hours for a driving call: none
