Rates and agreements
Find the Equity agreed pay rate and terms and working conditions for the job you’re working on.
We help set minimum rates of pay and conditions across the entertainment industries.
Our pay rates and agreements are the result of negotiations with producers and employers. They are known as “collective agreements” - contracts negotiated by Equity on behalf of workers with the management of a company. As well as minimum weekly and daily rates of pay, they lay out terms and working conditions such as holiday, hours, living away allowance, and daily meal allowances. We have collective agreements and agreed minimum pay rates across TV, film, opera, ballet and theatre and are fighting for union contracts in gaming, audio and commercials. Where we don't yet have collective agreements, we provide recommended minimum rates and template contracts for you to use.
You don’t need to be an Equity member to be working on Equity agreed rates or agreements. But only our members have a say on negotiating priorities and get to vote on any offer from the bosses. Join today.
