Whenever a Signatory producer hires a performer that is not a member of SAG-AFTRA they must report such hiring to the union in writing within 15 days from the performer’s initial work date (25 days on an overnight location) and include the reason for hire along with the performers headshot and resume.
Please note Section 2: Union Security and Section 14: Preference of Employment provisions of the Basic Agreement apply in full under the 2014 New Media Agreement – including liquidated damages. Please make sure to read these provisions in full and ask any questions prior to signing your agreement.
