The workweek may be shifted 2 times without incurring additional costs during principal photography. For episodic television, the workweek may be shifted 2 times between the commencement or resumption of production and a cessation of principal photography or the series for least one week. Any workweek shift will be subject to a minimum 32 hour rest period.

Workday

8 hours excluding meal periods.

A workday starting in one calendar day and running into the next calendar day is credited to the first day except where a work shift overlaps into a holiday or from a holiday into the next day. In those cases where the hours worked on the calendar holiday are payable at 2x.

For productions located in a state that doesn’t contain a Studio Mechanics Local (the states of Alabama, Kentucky and Arkansas), or in a state in which the Studio Mechanics Local does not have jurisdiction throughout the state, a Nearby Hire’s principal residence is outside the 75 mile radius of the respective production location, but is within the state in which the production is located.

Nearby Hire employees are to be paid a daily living allowance of $45 ($315 per week).

A Distant Hire’s principal residence is outside the geographical definition of a Nearby Hire. Distant hires are to be provided with reasonable single occupancy hotel accommodations.

Employees called up to 2 hours earlier than the regular crew may be provided with a non-deductible hot breakfast and time to sit and eat (within 1 hour before or after the regular crew call). Employees provided a non-deductible breakfast will have the first deductible meal period due at the same time as the meal is due for the regular crew.

An unscheduled 12 minute grace period to complete a camera set-up in progress may be called prior to imposing any meal penalty.

A 30 minute unscheduled grace period may be given at wrap if the employee is dismissed within ½ hour.
