Union Provisions. Is the production a union-sanctioned project? Or is it non-union? If it's union and you're a member of an actor's union like SAG-AFTRA, be sure to know your rights. If you're not being paid enough per union rules or being forced to work under non-approved conditions, you might want to reach out to your union for guidance. Related: How to Get a SAG Card Insurance Provided: Insurance should always be provided on set to protect you should an accident happen (i.e. lighting gear falls on you, you get injured during a stunt, etc.). Be sure your production provides insurance – even if it's for a small, non-union project. Remedial Clause: An actor contract should specify what a breach of contract is, and what measures can be taken if the contract is breached (broken). Some contracts will specify fines (for example, if an actor is late or absent for a required event) or allow a production company to cancel a contract entirely (while also suing the actor for monetary compensation to make up for the extra expenses they incurred due to the actor breaching the contract, such as casting to find a new actor, re-organizing shoot dates, legal fees, etc.). The remedial clause should also specify your rights as the actor and what happens if the production company breaches the contract. You'll usually need to provide the production company a reasonable amount of time to fix the breach, and if past that point you can usually get out of the contract and potentially sue them for any losses (unless the contract says otherwise). Termination of Contract: Every contract includes a termination clause, which explains when the contract will end. Most will state that the contract terminates after a certain period of time after the project has premiered, or on a specific date. It will also likely explain reasons for early termination and who is responsible for what if either party chooses to cancel the contract. In this section, I'll explain answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about actor contracts: When should I sign my contract? In general, always sign before any work begins. If you wait to sign until after you've done work, it's possible you might not get paid for your time, and if anything goes wrong during that non-signed-contract time, you won't be protected. What happens if a problem arises where an answer is not clearly outlined in my contract? In general, since you're the one being paid (the employee), you have more protections than the payer does. So the law is...

A proxy may also be elected to act in the absence of a Union representative, including on an alternate shift. The Union representative will be given six (6) ordinary days time off with pay per year (at the rate they would have earned if working, less any overtime) for training and meetings aligned with the duties as Union representative. Should there be a need for additional training days then an approach can be made to the Human Resources Manager for consideration. Before attending to his or her training and duties (where practicable) as an Employee representative, the Employee representative will notify the Company in writing with at least four (4) weeks’ notice of the Employee representative’s request to attend such training & duties and include the details such as type & duration of the course to be attended.
