sagaftra.org | Fall/Winter 2022 | SAG-AFTRA 19 availability and potential scheduling. This "conflict-free window" is not mandatory where the filming schedule between seasons is less than four months. • An increase in the exclusivity money breaks from $15,000 per week or per episode for half-hour programs and $20,000 per week or per episode for one hour or longer programs to $65,000 per week or per episode for half-hour programs and $70,000 per week or per hour for one hour or longer programs. • An unprecedented expansion in permitted appearances for series regulars, including the ability to be a series regular on a second series and to do an unlimited number of guest star appearances, including an unlimited number of continuing roles that do not exceed six episodes. • A strict limitation on the permissible reasons for which a series producer may stop a series regular from accepting an appearance on another program, along with a requirement of good-faith consideration of all permitted appearances and an obligation to keep records that are available for the union to review of series regular requests to work on other programs and the series producer's response. The exclusivity rules extend to all series regulars on children's programming, subject to limitations on series regulars who are minors taking roles on other children's programs. These limitations do not apply to adult programs, and cease upon the minor reaching 18 years of age. This agreement comes on the heels of an agreement between Netflix and SAG-AFTRA, in which Netflix agreed to join the multiemployer bargaining unit represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. In light of the AMPTP agreement, legislation for the California Let Artists Work Act was withdrawn. Help Your Union Serve You Better!
