Year book of motion pictures (1928)

On the other hand, you may call people, wearing their own clothes, to be "on the set, ready to work", at nine o'clock, and expect them to appear on the set, made up and ready to work, all on the extra's time. It is generally understood that the extra shall make up on his own time. If you ask them to appear at your studio, take them to location and find it necessary to return them to the studio to check in wardrobes, you pay for all time consumed at your direction. If, however, you find it expedient to check them out and collect the property on location, their work period ends after your property is checked in, and the time consumed in returning them from location is to be borne by the extras. The studio is, of course, responsible for bringing them back unless they are on a direct car line. You can, of course, order a group of extras to appear at any central point in the city at a stated hour and the day's work starts at the time they are told to assemble. (b) Payment of Work in Excess of Standard Day's Work — In case of emergency, any women extra may be employed in excess of eight hours provided that for all work in excess of eight hours no employer shall pay any woman extra less than the following scale After eight hours, and up to ten hours, not less than one fourth of the daily wage paid. After ten hours and up to twelve hours, not less than one half of the daily wage paid. After twelve hours and up to fourteen hours, not less than three fourths of the daily wage paid. After fourteen hours, not less than double the daily wage paid. (c) Form of Payment to Extras — Every employer shall pay extras in cash or negotiable checks at the completion of each day's work, except that overtime checks if unpaid must be mailed to extras not later than 24 hours. The clause "except that overtime checks, if unpaid, must be mailed to extras not later than 24 hours", is for the purpose of covering an emergency in event you do not have cash on hand or that checks are not made out to cover more than eight hours because you intended to work not more than eight hours. (d) Payment for WeatherPermitting Calk? — In case of weather-permitting calls, women and minors shall be paid their carfare for reporting. If required to wait they shall be paid their regular wages. It is suggested that you post a painted or printed sign announcing there will be no work that day, and the Central Casting Corp. will assist you, whenever possible, if requested by you, in cancelling the call. The posting of this sign indicating there will be no work is all that is required and we have agreed that should extras go to the studios in bad weather, their carfare will be paid. If, however, a crowd assembles on a doubtful day and you consider it possible to shoot at a later hour, the extras meanwhile remaining voluntarily at the studio in the hope that you will do so, in event you do shoot at a later hour, we have agreed the day will start from the original hours of call rather than from the hour at which you start work, NOTIFICATION OF NIGHT WORK, "WET" WORK, OR DANGEROUS WORK: (e) — Employers shall notify extras at the time of the call of the character of the work, when extras are required to do night work, "wet" work, or work of a rough or dangerous character. Night Work — (f) — Extra women who are required to work at night shall be dismissed in time to permit their return to their homes by public service transportation; otherwise, appropriate transportation shall be provided for all extra women who are required to work, if in excess of a standard day. after 11 :30 P. M. The Industrial Welfare Commission and the extras are satisfied with the box lunch furnished the extras. Therefore, it will be perfectly satis factory to include hot drinks of tea, coffee, or milk with the box lunch for the night work. WORKING CONDITIONS ON LOCATION (g) Where women extras work on location, portable toilets affording at least one seat for every 20 women shall be provided, and shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. The seats of these portable toilets shall be so screened between each one, and in front, that they afford decent privacy. Adequate washing facilities and pure drinking water shall also be provided for such workers. Every woman and minor shall be entitled to not less than one-half hour for each meal. SECTION 6— The Industrial Welfare Commission shall exercise exclusive jurisdiction over all questions arising as to the administration and interpretation of this order. SECTION NO. 7— Statutes of California, 1913, Chapter 324, Section 11. "Every employer or other person, who, either individually or as an officer, agent or employee of a corporation, or other person, violates or refuses or neglects to comply with the provisions of this Act, or any orders or rulings of this Commission, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof be punished by a fine of not less than $50, or by imprisonment for not less than sixty days, or by both such fine and imprisonment." SECTION NO. 8 — Labor Laws of California, 1915, Chapter 56, Sec. 1. "Any manager, superintendent, foreman or other person having authority from his employer to hire, employ or direct the services of other persons in such employment who shall demand or receive any fee, gift, or other remuneration in consideration of hiring or employing any person to perform work or services for such employer, or permitting said person to continue in said employment, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $300 for such offense." NOTICE; — Nothing in this order prevents employers from paying more than the rates fixed herein by the Industrial Welfare Commission. Every employer shall post a copy of this order in a conspicious place where it can be read by the women and minor employees. * * * AMENDMENT TO "SCHOOL OR CLUB" LAW, PASSED JULY 29, 1927, BY THE STATE LABOR BUREAU OF CALIF.
