Crew and performers quick reference

UBCP/ACTRA has no weekend or weekly turnaround provision

A1301 sets a daily rest period only. There is no performer equivalent of the crew five-day-week or six-day rest. What performers get instead is money: A1202 pays the sixth consecutive day at 150%. If you are scheduling a performer off a Friday wrap onto a Monday call, no rest figure in this agreement constrains you — the daily 10 or 11 hours is the whole of it.

How this was checked. All 363 indexed UBCP clauses searched for weekly-rest language and for every hour figure between 30 and 72. Every match was a notice period, a fee table or a per diem — none was a rest entitlement.

The agreement does refer to a weekly rest period — without ever setting its length

A1702(c) grants breakfast, lunch and dinner per diem to performers held on overnight location “during the normal one-day or two-day weekly rest period (also known as Production down days)”. So the agreement plainly knows the weekend exists and names it. It attaches a meal allowance to it and no hours. That gap is the finding, and it is why the row above says no provision rather than leaving a blank cell.

SAG turnaround is not one document — it is a 2014 base plus four memoranda

There has been no consolidated SAG agreement since 2014. The operative text is the Codified Basic Agreement of 2014 and the 2014 Television Agreement, amended by the 2017, 2020, 2023 and 2026 memoranda. So a SAG rule is only as current as the last memorandum somebody read. For the rest periods on this page that audit is done and clean: not one of the four amends Schedule A §10 or Television Agreement §31, so the 2014 figures are operative. Do not assume the same for any other SAG provision — each one needs its own pass through the chain.

How this was checked. All four memoranda searched for amendments to Schedule A §10 and Television Agreement §31. Zero. Their rest-period mentions are Choreographers, Singers' in-hour breaks, background-actor wardrobe under Schedule X, and boilerplate about AI systems — none of them the performer rest period.

This page said for months that SAG turnaround could not be sourced. That was wrong

The reasoning was that no consolidated agreement has been published since 2014 and that sagaftra.org blocks automated access. Both are true, and neither mattered: AMPTP publishes the whole chain and can be fetched. All 17 active SAG documents were retrieved in one pass on 17 August 2026. The figure this site had been carrying as unsourced hearsay — twelve hours, as given by a working AD — turned out to be exactly right and sitting in a public PDF the whole time. It is recorded here rather than quietly fixed, because a claim that something cannot be obtained is a claim about the whole world, and it goes stale faster than any figure.

DGC BC is nine hours. Everywhere else in the country it is ten

DGC BC Article 17.1 gives nine hours between the end of a work day and the start of the next. The DGC agreements covering Ontario and the Maritimes give ten — ON2.08(a) reads “not less than ten (10) hours free from work”. The weekly rest diverges further: BC scales by days off (32 / 48 / 72), while Ontario sets 52 consecutive hours on a regular work week, 34 on a six-day week, and 72 across a three-day weekend. If you have worked under DGC anywhere else in Canada, the number you are carrying is one hour too generous for BC. Two further BC-specific catches: 17.1 says the rest “must be given” only “whenever practicable”, and 17.4's encroachment premium expressly does not apply to Directors — so it is a soft floor, and productions routinely schedule better than it. What is worked and what is owed are not the same number here.

Only one agreement uses the phrase “weekend turnaround” at all

It appears once, in the Teamsters appendix, and it appears as a carve-out: the extra hour of daily turnaround owed after two consecutive days of 2+ hour encroachment “shall not apply to weekend turnaround”. So the one place the phrase is used in these four agreements is to say where a protection stops.
