    Can I view the Plans' Multi-Service Commercial Allocation Guidelines?



    Please visit the Multi-Service Commercial Allocation Guidelines section of SAGPH Web Site for the Plans' published Multi-Service Commercial Allocation Guidelines. The Plans' Trustees have developed these Guidelines based on their experience over many years in applying the requirements of the Screen Actors Guild collective bargaining agreements that contributions be based on that part of the compensation that is for covered acting services.

    Over these years, the Plans have had many discussions with producers regarding the application of the collective bargaining agreement requirements in various circumstances. We have published these Guidelines at the suggestion of producers that knowledge of the Plans' approach would assist in their compliance with the requirements of the collective bargaining agreements. We are hopeful that you will find these Guidelines helpful in that regard.

    Finally, you will note that these Guidelines are not strict rules, but are, indeed, "guidelines." While we believe that the Guidelines will normally be applicable, we invite you to bring to our attention any factual circumstances that you believe would suggest contributions should be on some other basis. Thus, for example, the Plans may take into account the impact of the Guidelines on producers who entered into contracts prior to the publication of these Guidelines. As we have always done, the Plans will carefully consider any such factual circumstances and discuss with you any appropriate adjustment.

    If you have any questions regarding the Guidelines, or if you have any questions regarding an appropriate allocation of a multi-service contract, you may contact Ms. Nora Sham, Director of Contribution Compliance at (818) 973-4440 or nwsham@sagph.org.

    For a copy of the current guidelines and reporting forms, please visit http://www.sagph.org/StudioWeb web site.
