This is a summary of the Return to Work Agreement.

1. Term: September 21,2020 – April 30, 2021

2. Unions, Guilds and the AMPTP shall meet 1 month after the effective date and then every 2 months thereafter to discuss potential modification based on evolving scientific information and conditions.

3. Scope: All agreements that a Producer, or its related or affiliated entities, has with the IATSE throughout North America.

4. The provisions of The White Paper incorporated in this Agreement apply.

5. Union or Producer shall give good faith consideration to any requested case-by-case modifications.

6. Testing:

a. Types of Tests and Consent to Testing:

i. Diagnostic tests, other than antigen or antibody tests, that test for the virus that causes COVID-19 are allowed.

ii. Testing may be done on- or off-site.

iii. Tests results shall be provided to the employee.

iv. Employee may be required to sign consent forms prior to testing for the test and disclosure of test results. Producer must follow all applicable laws. There shall be no waivers of the Producer’s liability. Union agrees to make best efforts to assist the Producer in obtaining such consent forms, if necessary.

b. Payment for testing:

i. For tests outside the home, not done as part of the workday: $250 stipend. This may also cover training of up to 1 hour (which need not occur on the same day as the test), as well as time spent completing start paperwork, if the Producer requires the completion of such on a non-work day.

ii. For testing done at home on a non-workday: $20 stipend.

iii. No stipend is due if the employee is otherwise paid for the day (e.g. a workday or travel day).

iv. Producer may individually negotiate testing payment with those who are working under the Basic, the ASA, or the NY Local Agreements for work outside the limits of the U.S., its territories and Canada.

c. Limited testing availability – in such situations where tests are limited or there are known delays of processing, the Union and Producer will discuss the possibility of adjustments to the testing requirements.

d. Testing limited by law – in jurisdictions where there are limits or prohibitions on COVID-19 testing, the Producer will comply with the testing requirements of this agreement to the extent permissible by law. The Producer shall notify the Union of this situation and the parties shall discuss adjustments to the testing requirements.

e. Testing in jurisdictions with a low or high rate of infection - the parties shall discuss changes to the testing protocols for these areas. Employees traveling by air from a high rate area to a low rate area shall not have their air travel testing protocols changed (6 h).

f. Pre-employment testing - There are 3 options that are acceptable for pre-employment testing (testing is not required for those who work at facilities and returned to work prior to the effective date of this agreement and who continue to work during the term of this agreement or employees who work from home or alone):

i. A Lab-based PCR diagnostic test within 72 hours of the start of employment. Effective January 1, 2021, testing must occur within 48 hours of the start of employment.

A negative result must be obtained prior to the start of employment. An employee who begins work on a Monday may be tested on the preceding Friday.

(Efforts will be made to transition to a lab-based PCR test with a turnround time of less than 72 hours prior to December 31, 2020.)

ii. If an employee cannot receive the results within that 72-hour window, the lab-based PCR test shall be administered as soon to employment as possible, with a rapid test within 48 hours prior to employment. Both test results must be obtained prior to the start of employment.

iii. Alternatively, 2 rapid tests conducted within 48 hours (with the samples collected at the same time) may be used. Both tests results must be negative prior to the start of employment.

A pre-employment test is not required if the employee has been tested by a Producer within 48 hours prior to employment and the test is negative. If a lab-based PCR diagnostic test is used, the test may be administered up to 72 hours before employment. If conducted by a different Producer, the employee must have documentation establishing the time and result of the test. This is in part for the implementation of day players to allow them to work on next day notice

Once a negative test is obtained, the person is considered employed, and all provisions related to sick leave and other working conditions apply on a go-forward basis, even if the employee develops symptoms or fails their Health Assessment Survey (HAS) prior to their first day of work.

Producer may require additional pre-employment testing. If so, the Producer will notify the prospective employee of the policy prior to the first pre-employment test.

If an employee is required to stay home on the first day of work due to failing a temperature check or the HAS, they will first exhaust any accrued sick leave already provided for under the applicable agreement. Once that is exhausted, the COVID 19 sick leave provisions shall apply.

g. Acceptable Types of Tests for Periodic testing:

i. The pre-employment test, return-to-work test, if tested 1x a week or every other week: the test shall be a lab-based PCR diagnostic test, with results returned within 72 hours, for as long as that applies.

If tested more than 1x a week, the rest of the tests can be rapid tests.

If a test result cannot be obtained within a 72-hour window, the employee can be administered a rapid test and receive a negative result within the past 24 hours; or

The employee is being periodically tested more frequently than the minimum requirements for their zone, and all tests taken and received within the past 7 days have been negative.

h. Positive COVID-19 Test Result Protocols:

i. If an employee tests positive: Producer, employee, and employees exposed to employee shall follow current CDC guidelines or local govt. authority rules, whichever is stricter, regarding testing and quarantine.

ii. Producer may establish a policy that is consistent with CDC guidelines:

1. Due to evidence that people can falsely test positive, although fully recovered from COVID-19, the following shall apply: those who had symptomatic COVID-19, recover fully, and who remain asymptomatic, need not be tested within 3 months after the date of symptom onset for the initial infection.

2. People who develop new symptoms consistent with COVID-19 during the 3 months after the date of initial symptom onset will be tested unless an alternative option can be identified by a healthcare provider.

3. For those who never develop symptoms after a positive test, the date of the first positive RT-PCR test should be used in place of the date of symptom onset.

i. Testing in Connection with Air Travel:

i. The pre-flight test shall have the same requirements as a pre-employment test, except if the employee is already being periodically tested. In that case, if they have had a negative rapid test within 48 hours

of departure, or a lab-based PCR diagnostic test within 72 hours, they are cleared to fly.

ii. If the employee was already on a periodic testing schedule, they can begin work upon arrival, continuing with their standard testing schedule.

iii. If the employee has not yet begun periodic testing, they cannot begin work at their destination until they have been tested (with the same requirements as a pre-employment test) no sooner than 48 hours after arrival at the destination, except that:

1. If they had a negative pre-flight test within 48 hours prior to departure, they can work during the 48 hour period following the pre-flight test, or;

2. If employee is scheduled to work within 48 hours of arrival, employee can be given a post-flight test sooner than 48 hours after arrival, and after receiving a negative test, may begin work – so long as their first periodic test is conducted within 48 hours of that post-flight test.

7. Zones:

a. Zone A are those employees who wear PPE at all times when working and are present in a workspace with a performer who is not wearing a mask.

i. Zone A employees who work 5 days or more in a week:

Testing regimen: no less than 3x a week.

More testing may be required for intimate or action scenes.

ii. Zone A employees who work fewer than 5 days a week:

8. Producers will adopt a system to divide employees into work groups (sometimes called “pods”) that are designed to minimize contact and interaction between performers without PPE and the rest of the crew. This system specifies where employees in each group may go during the course of their workday. It may also be used to separate employees in the same Zone, as described in paragraph 7 above, into

smaller work groups to further limit contact. The details will vary from production to production.

This does not apply to those employed on animated motion pictures.
