Studio Minimum Wage Scale, definition
Studio Minimum Wage Scale, for provisions applicable to combinations of studio and distant location employment in the same workweek. As to “on production” employees, once during the production of a motion picture, or in the case of episodic television, once between hiatus periods (i.e., between the commencement or resumption of production and a cessation of principal photography for the series for at least one week), the Producer may shift the workweek for employees working on production without incurring extra costs, by adding one (1) or two (2) days off consecutive with the sixth and/or seventh days off in the prior workweek and/or by shifting a workweek commencing on a Tuesday to a workweek commencing on a Monday, provided that the intervening Sunday is a day off. Otherwise, the Producer must pay the employee appropriate premium pay if it requires the employee to work on the day(s) which would otherwise be the employee’s regularly- scheduled day(s) off. In addition to the shift outlined in the preceding paragraph, the IATSE agrees that it will not unreasonably deny a request to shift the workweek of production employees without incurring additional costs when a production travels to a new city.
Studio Minimum Wage Scale, for provisions applicable to combinations of studio and distant location employment in the same workweek. The regular distant location workweek shall consist of any six (6) consecutive days out of any seven (7) consecutive days, commencing with the first of such six (6) days. However, the six (6) consecutive day requirement shall not apply upon the commencement of any regularly-scheduled six-day-per-week shift. (For example, on starting a new shift, a schedule that provides for an employee to work on Monday and Tuesday, with Wednesday as the regular day off, and is followed by work on Thursday through the following Saturday does not violate the six (6) consecutive days requirement.) Double time shall be paid for the employee’s seventh day of work within a workweek.
