Ceiling for Television Supplemental Market Use

Payments made for supplemental market use will be subject to the ceiling referenced in the Producer-Screen Actors Guild Codified Basic Agreement for television motion pictures having a running time in excess of one hour, including shorter programs combined into a single feature-type picture.

For information on the ceilings from the Codified Basic Agreement based on principal photography start date, visit the Theatrical Ceilings section.

Supplemental markets include the following reuse markets: home video, paid TV, new media purchase and in-flight media.

Made-for-Pay television productions and Made for Video/DVD supplemental residuals are not subject to the $232,000 supplemental market use ceiling. Once the ceiling (based on the length of the production) is reached, no further contributions are due.

Supplemental Market Use Ceiling Example:

• Movie-of-the-Week project is 1 ½ hours length in running time.
• Ceiling (all session and residual compensation) is $33,000.
• Initial compensation for a performer is $40,000.
• Employer will only need to report gross wages in the amount of $33,000 for the initial compensation payment.
• Performer was subsequently paid $1,500 for reuse fee on Free TV and $1,000 for supplemental market residuals (i.e. Pay TV reuse). Employer does not report the $1,500 for Free TV reuse, but will need to report the $1,000 for supplemental market reuse.

Contributions Remittance on behalf of Dance Choreographers

Employers are allowed to remit contributions on behalf of dance choreographers and assistant choreographers who have met the requirements as outlined in the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements. Employers are required to submit the completed Dance Choreographer Form along with the earnings report and contributions to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan.

Deceased Performer Reporting of Earnings

Under the television contract, no contributions to the Plan shall be required to be made with respect to any compensation—including rerun fees, foreign telecast fees and additional compensation for theatrical exhibition, supplemental market and basic cable use—that becomes due and payable after the date of death of the performer.
