Wage Rates (with relevant notes from AMPTP):

Note from AMPTP on 14 May 2025: "In August 2024, the AMPTP distributed draft wage rate schedules for certain programs subject to the “Long-Form Wage Rate Schedules.”  I am happy to report that the AMPTP and the IATSE have reached agreement on finalized “Long-Form Wage Rate Schedules” for the 2024 IATSE Basic Agreement and West Coast Studio Local Agreements.  ... Note that the descriptions of types of programs subject to Long-form Schedule #2 (rates reduced by no more than 12.5%) and Long-form Schedule #3 (rates subject to general wage increases) have been updated to make reference to long-form motion pictures and mini-series made for basic cable.  These programs had inadvertently been omitted from the table of contents in the previously distributed draft wage rates. Additionally, the hourly rates and corresponding weekly rates in Long-form Schedule #1 (rates reduced by no more than 10%) and Long-form Schedule #2 (rates reduced by no more than 12.5%) for nine (9) classifications have been adjusted, based on the bargaining parties’ agreement to resolve a discrepancy in methodology following the 2024 IATSE Basic Agreement negotiations.  Those nine (9) classifications include: 

1. Film Loader;
2. Company Grip;
3. Doll Grip;
4. Crafts Service Person;
5. Production Painter;
6. Electrical Lighting Technician;
7. Costume Manufacturer;
8. Teleprompter Operator; and
9. Scenic Artist.

No other changes were made to the wage rates in the Long-Form Wage Rate Schedules, including the daily rates (and corresponding hourly rates) for the nine (9) classifications above.

And updated on 15 May 2025: "If your company employed any individuals to work in one of the nine (9) classifications under Long-form Schedule #1 (rates reduced by no more than 10%) and Long-form Schedule #2 (rates reduced by no more than 12.5%), please process any adjustments retroactive to August 4, 2024.  Programs subject to rates in Long-form Schedule #1 and Schedule #2 include:

Note from AMPTP on 13 May 2025: "It was brought to our attention that there was an error in the IATSE Videotape Agreement Wage Rate Schedules regarding their application to non-prime time dramatic programs.  Specifically, the chart on page 43 of the 2024 IATSE Videotape Agreement MOA regarding one-half hour multi-camera programs applied only to one-half hour multi-camera prime time dramatic programs; wage rates for one-half hour multi-camera non-prime time dramatic programs should continue to remain under the Videotape Agreement.  Accordingly, the descriptions in the Videotape Agreement wage rates for dramatic programs have been revised to include one-half hour multi-camera non-prime time dramatic programs as follows:

• Pages 1-4 – Daily and Weekly Rates for Dramatic Programs (standard rates): “For employees employed on pre-production and production of third and subsequent seasons of one-half hour and one-hour non-prime time dramatic episodic tv series or one-half hour single camera non-prime time episodic tv series; for post-production employees employed on third and subsequent seasons of one-half hour and one-hour ‘non-prime time’ episodic series or one-half hour single camera ‘non-prime time’ episodic series dramatic programs made for New Media of the type, which if produced for television would be considered ‘non-prime time,’ such as Saved by the Bell; and for post-production employees employed on pilots and all seasons of one-half hour and one-hour non-prime time dramatic episodic tv television series or one-half hour single camera non-prime time episodic tv series.” 
• Pages 5-8 – Daily and Weekly Rates for Dramatic Programs for which principal photography of the 1st episode of the season commences on or after 9/29/24 (3% discounted rates):  “For one-half hour and one-hour pilots (other than one-half hour single camera prime time pilots) and the first two (2) production seasons of one-half hour and one-hour non-prime time dramatic episodic television series and one-half hour single camera non-prime time episodic television series for which principal photography of the first episode of the season commences on or after September 29, 2024.”
• Pages 9-12 – Daily and Weekly Rates for Dramatic Programs for which principal photography of the 1st episode of the season commences prior to 9/29/24 (lag rates): “For one-half hour and one-hour pilots (other than one-half hour single camera prime time pilots) and the first two (2) production seasons of one-half hour and one-hour non-prime time dramatic episodic television series and one-half hour single camera non-prime time episodic television seriesfor which principal photography of the first episode of the season commences prior to September 29, 2024.”
