Common use of Consecutive Employment Clause in Contracts

Consecutive Employment. Employment of Performers employed on a Three-Day or Weekly basis shall be for consecutive days from the beginning of the engagement. In the event of a recall, Employer shall pay for intervening time, unless a firm booking date was given at the time of the engagement, and agreed to by the Performer. The requirement, (unless otherwise agreed by Performer), of paid consecutive employment is not applicable to Day Performers, provided firm advance booking dates are given by Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Day Performer on a Distant Location, as defined in Addendum C, “Travel”, shall be entitled to consecutive employment for all intervening days while on the Distant Location subject to the following exceptions and conditions: (i) Unless otherwise provided in the Performer’s agreement, such intervening days shall be payable at scale; (ii) Payment for an intervening day shall not be required where the Performer is otherwise employed by a different Employer under a SAG-AFTRA collective bargaining agreement on that day; (iii) Payment for intervening days shall not be due if the work necessitating the intervening days occurs at Performer’s request or if the Performer is offered travel and remains at the Distant Location at their own election and (iv) Payment for intervening days is not due for more than 5 out of 7 days in a week (unless the Performer works more than 5 out of 7 days in the week).
