New EMC Rule
« on: Nov 23, 2013, 07:20 pm »
I ran into a friend of mine who is an Equity actor and we got into a discussion about EMC. He told me that AEA had just created a rule that if an EMC hits their 50 weeks in the middle of contract, that they have to be paid whatever the AEA minimum is for the remainder of the contract. Apparently the Artistic Director at one of the LORT theatres in town received a phone call from AEA telling her that so and so had reached her 50 weeks and had to be paid LORT D minimum. Has anyone heard about this?

No - this is the kind of deal the theaters set up with AEA before their EMCs hit 50 weeks. They finish the contract at EMC/nonEq rate, just that any new contracts need to be AEA. Call your rep, if this is happening, this was prearranged.
