The agreement includes three contract tiers: Tiers 1 and 2 are limited to two weeks, with Tier 3 covering two to eight weeks. All three tiers offer pension and health benefits.
The AEA works to negotiate quality living conditions, livable wages, and benefits for performers and stage managers. A theater or production that is not produced and performed by AEA members may be called "non-Equity".
All termination notices must be in writing with a copy to Equity. If you go 90 days without a bona fide offer of employment, then you have the right to terminate the contract. You may not terminate if you are currently employed. An agent and an actor may at any time agree to terminate the Exclusive Management contract.
You can gain AEA membership by being a member of one of its sister unions for a year or more. To learn more about Equity's sister unions and their requirements for candidacy visit Equity's “How to Join” page. You could also gain your Equity card by booking an AEA contract.
Overview. A development agreement is a voluntary contract between a local jurisdiction and a person who owns or controls property within the jurisdiction, detailing the obligations of both parties and specifying the standards and conditions that will govern development of the property.
Development agreements allow local governments to achieve greater community benefits not otherwise required by adopted regulations. The local government attorney(s) should be involved in direct negotiations and drafting the agreement.
