Common use of REPLACEMENT OF ACTOR Clause in Contracts

REPLACEMENT OF ACTOR. (A) Unless Equity shall otherwise order, an Actor may not be required to alternate with an Understudy or successor and if replaced by either, Actor may not thereafter be required (unless Equity otherwise orders) to act again in the role or to report at the theatre for that purpose. Payments, however, shall continue to be made to Actor according to the terms of Actor's individual employment contract except that the Producer shall receive credit for all monies earned by the Actor under another Equity contract during the balance of the term of Actor's original contract. (1) If the Actor is late for "half-hour" or appears at the theatre unable to perform due to intoxication or similar cause, the Producer, subject to the provisions of Rule 4, ARBITRATION AND GRIEVANCE, may determine that the Actor should not perform. If the Actor is temporarily replaced for a single performance for reasons set forth herein, the above provisions shall not apply and the Actor may be required to perform thereafter, provided the Producer notifies Equity in writing of such action and the reasons therefor within 24 hours. Should such temporary replacement be determined to be without just cause by the Grievance Committee, by an arbitrator or by other mutually agreeable means, the Actor shall be paid full salary for any performance not played as a result of the Producer's action and Actor shall continue to perform under Actor's original contract. (2) Should the Producer dismiss an Actor for inability to perform due to intoxication or similar cause and so notify the Actor and Equity in writing of such action and the reasons therefor within 24 hours, the provisions of Paragraph (A) above shall not apply. In such event, Equity may institute Expeditious Grievance and Expeditious Arbitration procedures in accordance with Rule 4(A)(1), (C), (E) and (F). If it should be determined by the Grievance Committee, by the Arbitrator, or by other mutually agreeable means that the dismissal was without just cause, the Actor shall be paid full salary for any performances not played as a result of the Producer's action and shall be required to immediately resume Actor's performances when notified to do so by the Producer. Payment for the missed performances must be made prior to the Actor resuming performances under Actor's contract. Pending the determination, the Actor need not report to the theatre. (B) Should the Term Contract of an Actor initially engaged for the production terminate, according to its terms, within five months of the opening date specified in said contract, the Producer may not reengage the Actor for the same part at a lesser salary than the highest salary in the original contract for Point of Organization and on tour respectively (not counting the salary for the pre-Point of Organization engagement), without the written consent of Equity through its "Cuts Board" under the same rules and procedures covering "Cuts."
