It comes after actor Tom Hardy offered to pay the wages of an entire TV set crew on the new Guy's series after a construction company went into liquidation.
The Venom star, 47, recently filmed scenes for upcoming TV series, The Associate, in London, but around 50 freelance building workers were left devastated after Helix 3D, the construction company contracted to build sets, went bust, The Times reported.
It is said that the company then refused to pay out £250,000 of wages ahead of Christmas, and its chief executive Brian Dowling sent out the devastating message last week saying their pay would likely not be in their accounts before the New Year.
It wasn't until star Tom stepped in and offered to pay the workers' wages that Paramount resolved the situation and set about sorting their paychecks.
A source close to Tom told The Times: 'He offered to [pay], but the production and Paramount have sorted the payment.'
Meanwhile a Paramount source said they were 'outraged' at the situation and plans were in place to make sure the workers were paid.
In a letter seen by the publication, organising official for the broadcasting union Bectu, Chris Hudson, said: 'Our members deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and compensated on time for their work.
'It is wholly unacceptable that they are facing significant financial precarity, particularly ahead of Christmas.

'This close to Christmas, our members are rightly very distressed, with many fearing they will be unable to cover necessities.'
Tom is known for his dashing good looks, and in snaps of him filming the series in London, the crew were on hand to make sure his makeup and costume were perfect before calling action.
While director Guy soon made his way over to chat to his star before the scene, and give him some last-minute notes and direction.
The Associate marks the second collaboration between the director and the Venom star, after the pair previously worked together for 2008 crime thriller RocknRolla.
Tom has also signed on to executive producer the Paramount+ show alongside Guy, Jez Butterworth and Kris Thykier.
As well as Tom, the star-studded cast also includes Oscar winning actress Helen Mirren and former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan.
They play married couple Maeve and Conrad Harrigan, who together head one of the most successful organised Irish crime families in London.
While Tom plays Harry Da Souza, a dangerous 'fixer' who is also on call for the Harrigans to help them clear up any problems.

The synopsis of the show describes it as the story of 'two warring families based in London whose enterprises stretch all corners of the globe and the fiercely loyal “fixer” charged with protecting one of them at all costs.'
However, production has got off to a rocky start with the London set being robbed twice in the past week, with thieves said to have made off with £1million worth of camera kit.
The first robbery took place last week, while production crew and security were on site, as two men in Toyota Prius supposedly distracted people by asking for directions before speeding off with the expensive equipment.
Speaking about the incident, a source told The Sun: 'Their questions distracted people and at that moment, the other bloke jumped out and grabbed a bag of camera equipment that was on the side of the road.
'He jumped back in the car and they sped off. The security guards started going bananas because they'd basically been robbed in broad daylight.
'It was pretty embarrassing and a costly mistake. The kit on those films isn't cheap.'
