union rules

a reminder for union members/union auditions:

At all auditions, always remember to sign in and out using your membership identification number, not your Social Security Number, to ensure timely payment of overtime.

A principal performer may be entitled to overtime for a first or second audition for a commercial if s/he remains for more than one hour from the call time or arrival time, whichever is later. For a third audition a principal performer is paid $133.75 for up to 2 hours, with additional time paid at $33.45 per 1/2 unit. For a fourth audition, a performer is entitled to $267.50 for up to 4 hours, with additional time paid at $33.45 per 1/2 hour.
