The 2020-2021 DGA Network Agreement Rate Cards
for Associate Directors, Stage Managers and Production
Associates working in News, Sports, Operations and Local
(NY and LA) are now available online in the Contracts
section of the DGA website (www.dga.org).
Covering the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, these
new rate cards incorporate the wage increases that were negotiated
as part of the Network Agreement. Please note that although the
DGA Pension Plan remains well-funded on a relative basis, to
provide additional security for the Pension Plan and protect against lower investment returns or a decrease in residual
contributions in the future, the DGA National Board elected to divert 1.0% of the 2.5% wage increase scheduled for
July 1, 2020 toward the DGA Pension Plan, pursuant to the 2020-2023 Network Memorandum of Agreement. As a
result, effective July 1, 2020, the Employer contribution rate to the Pension Plan increased from 7% to 8%, and the wage
increase was 1.5%.
The Rate Cards are intended for general informational purposes. If you have a specific question,
please contact Field Representative Michelle Kuchinsky at 347-803-0525 or MichelleK@dga.org.
On July 28, 2020, the DGA announced that the 73rd Annual
DGA Awards will take place on Saturday, April 10, 2021.
Further information including submission requirements and venue
will be announced at a later date.
