Do animation creators paying their staff to help him create his tv series or does the company that distribute the show pays them?
e.g matt groening paying for character designers and writers to producers and directors

Whoever owns the animation studio pays the staff.
The Simpsons is developed by Gracie Films which I believe is owned by James L. Brooks, so Brooks would be responsible for paying whatever creative staff (writers, producers, voice actors, sound mixers) he employs, including Groening.
The Simpsons is animated by Film Roman which is owned by IDT Entertainment which was recently purchased by The Starz Media Group.
You can usually see which company does the animation in the credits of a cartoon. For example, The Simpsons closing credits say "Animation Produced by FILM ROMAN, INC." Following that credit, is a list of the people at Film Roman who worked on the episode.
Ahh, but the animation is actually NOT produced at Film Roman. It is produced at AKOM in Korea. The people at Film Roman do the pre-prod and post-prod only.

Really the only time a creator will pay someone out of his pocket is if it's for a personal project. Network shows are all big bussiness.

After the "Animation Produced by FILM ROMAN, INC." credit, there is an "Overseas Production by ..." credit.
I believe that, in addition to AKOM, Rough Draft is still doing some of the episodes, although I don't have any recent episodes with which to verify this.
right now no one is paying me... still waiting for my may's pay check...:mad:

Bank transfers made automatically for employees greatly simplify the process of paying salaries. This not only saves time, but also eliminates the possibility of errors associated with manual calculations. I like that thanks to unify financial credit union customer service , the system provides regularity and predictability - employees know exactly when and how much they will receive. In addition, automation allows you to reduce the costs of financial management.
