(B) The management shall use its best efforts to minimize table or bar service of food or drink during the performance, and such service shall not interfere in the production values as established by the director. 59. SOCIAL SECURITY/UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (A) The Actor shall be entitled to the benefit of all Federal and State laws constituting what is commonly known and designated as Social Security Acts and Unemployment Insurance and the Producer during the term of the Actor's contract shall pay any and all taxes or payments required to be paid by employers under the provisions of said law. (B) The Producer shall provide Social Security Benefits under the elective provisions of the Social Security Law, if the Producer is not required to provide benefits under the law. In the event the services of the Actor are not subject to the compulsory provisions of an Unemployment Compensation law of any State, then the Producer hereby agrees that the Producer will elect to cover the Actor and pay contribution on the earnings of the Actor under the elective provisions of the Unemployment Insurance Law of the State of New York. In the event, however, the Producer is not eligible to come under the New York State Unemployment Insurance Law, then the Producer shall elect to come under the Unemployment Compensation Law of the State where the Producer's principal place of business resides, or of the State of the Actor's residence, or of the State where the contract of employment was entered into. (C) The Producer shall elect coverage and pay contributions within the time required by applicable state law. When such election is made to New York State, the Producer shall report the Actor by name, social security number and by New York address to the appropriate agency during the first week of the Actor's employment and, in no event, later than the quarter in which the work is performed. (D) The Producer shall execute and file the necessary forms required by the State Unemployment Compensation (Insurance) Law under which the Producer has elected to cover the Actor and shall notify the Actor of the Producer's election. The Producer shall furnish the Producer's unemployment registration number to the Actor and to Equity as soon as such number is assigned to the Producer. (E) The Producer shall submit proof satisfactory to Equity that the Producer has applied for unemployment insurance coverage, and deliver a true copy of the Producer's application to Equity. The Producer warrants and represents that the Producer will not withdraw such application nor modify nor change it without written consent of Equity. (F) In the event any Producer fails to apply for Unemployment Insurance Coverage or withdraws or modifies any application for such coverage without the written consent of Equity, or fails to elect coverage within the time required by applicable state law, or fails to pay the required insurance contributions to the appropriate state agencies within the time required, the Producer in that event must pay to the Actor the equivalent of any Unemployment Insurance benefits the Actor may lose as a result thereby. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Actor's contract of employment. (G) The Producer shall obtain and maintain Worker’s Compensation insurance coverage for all Actors, Stage Managers and Assistant Stage Managers in the Producer's employ. 54
(H) Failure to obtain Worker’s Compensation shall make the Producer individually liable. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Actor's contract of Employment. Where possible, Unemployment Insurance coverage shall at Equity's discretion be in the state most favorable to the Actor. 60. STAGE FIGHTING (A) The following regulations shall govern whenever a production requires Actors to enact a fight. (1) The Actor must agree by means of a contract rider in order to participate in stage fighting. (2) At the discretion of the Stage Manager, all Actors who participate in a fight may be required to run through the routine or any 10 minute segment of it before half hour of each performance, except before the second performance on a twi-night performance night. (3) Whenever possible, performing members of the company shall rehearse fights with Understudies during regular rehearsal hours. (4) After the official opening, the Stage Manager must be consulted before any changes are made in a fight routine. (5) Such stage fighting rehearsals shall be exempt from regular rehearsal hours and shall be exempt from overtime. (6) In the absence of a qualified Fight Captain in the company, the Producer shall call the Fight Director or Fight Director's designee when Producer or Producer's designee deems it necessary, after consultation with the Stage Manager. (7) Whenever a qualified Fight Captain within the company is engaged, Actor shall agree in a contract rider and be paid from the first date of assignment but in no event later than the first day of rehearsal, the greater of $5 per performance or $20 per week, in addition to Actor's weekly contractual salary. (8) All rehearsals shall utilize tumbling mats. The Producer shall provide any necessary protective clothing for rehearsal and/or performance. (9) Proper first-aid information and equipment (including ice-packs and eye wash) shall be made available at any rehearsal or performance site where stage fighting/violence occurs. (B) Firearms (1) Whenever firearms are used in a production, there shall be a safety demonstration for the entire company conducted by a qualified individual, prior to the first paid public performance or use of firearms in rehearsal, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, safety demonstrations and/or instructions shall be required for all affected replacement Actors as well as Swing and Understudies, before their first paid public performance. Brush-up safety demonstrations and/or instructions shall be required at least once every six months. Attendance at the yearly demonstration shall be mandatory. Any and all modifications to firearms shall be done by a licensed gunsmith. Demonstration time shall be counted as rehearsal time. 55
