Negotiating CREW RATES

  
Here are some checklist points suggested by Simon & Wise that we agree should be on everyone's checklist when it comes to negotiating crew rates:

1.Schedule
2.Hourly or weekly rates
3.Kit Rentals
4.Meals
5.Pre-Production/technical survey days
6.Travel Days
7.Per diems, lodging, etc
8.Pay day (s)
9.Payroll taxes for non-union crews
10.Credits
11.Profit Sharing (if applicable or necessary)
12.Deferments (if applicable or necessary)

It's important that you find out whether your crew is part of a union or not because unions require minimum payroll salaries/pension/health/vacation/holiday fringes where non union members are generally not paid for holidays.
