Eastern Agreement
The Development Agreement is used for the development of new works, usually prior to an intended Production Agreement engagement. The agreement includes three contract tiers: Tiers 1 and 2 are limited to two weeks, with Tier 3 covering two to eight weeks. All three tiers offer pension and health benefits. Tier 3 and, in some circumstances, Tier 2 offer contingent compensation.
Members can view Development Rulebook in the Rulebook Library in the Member Portal.
The current agreement expired on February 11, 2024, and Equity is not issuing new agreements.
