Union Rate Reference
The union agreement rates Greenroom applies, and the document each one comes from
Every rate Greenroom charges, for every union agreement it prices, is in the Union rates rate book: minimums by job title, premiums, benefit contributions, dues and overtime, with the date each rate set starts. It is generated from Greenroom's live rate tables. This page covers the agreements below in more detail: where each figure comes from, and the corrections made to them.
AEA Off-Broadway (Rule 63, 2024-28)
Every rate on file, by rate set: AEA Off-Broadway.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Health | $185 → $190 → $190/week |
| Pension | 8% of covered weekly salary, up to the contract cap |
| Dues | 2.5% of gross |
| .045 fund routing | Not applicable — Broadway-only |
| Employer 401(k) match | Not applicable — Broadway-only |
Pension: Off-Broadway Rulebook 2024-2028, Rule 50(B). It was corrected from 6% on 2026-09-18, and a run submitted before then was priced at 6%. The Off-Broadway League Development levels below inherit this pension, and were corrected to 8% at the same time.
AEA Off-Broadway League Development (Levels 1 to 4)
Every rate on file, by rate set: AEA Off-Broadway League Development.
Developmental work under the Off-Broadway agreement is covered by a side letter (Equity and the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers, 2024-07-22, §24). Greenroom carries Level Four (play or musical full development) as its own agreement, derived from the Off-Broadway rate book rather than typed in, in four bands that follow the Off-Broadway contract years.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Minimums | 90% of the Off-Broadway Commercial Category A minimum for Actors, Stage Managers and Assistant Stage Managers: $781.20, $937.80 and $859.50 a week in the band from 2026-07-27. The Off-Broadway League's own 2026-27 table rounds these to $781, $938 and $860, so Greenroom's Stage Manager and ASM figures sit $0.20 and $0.50 under it |
| Health, pension, dues | The Off-Broadway figures above, unchanged (pension 8%) |
| 401(k) | None: the side letter allows no 401(k) |
| Sick pay and vacation | Do not accrue |
| SM and ASM pre-production days | 1/6 of contractual salary per day, offered on the run's Add menu |
Greenroom's tests check the derivation against the side letter section by section. Union Studio shows its rates as Not yet checked, and a payroll on this agreement shows a note on Payroll Summary: "AEA Off-Broadway League Development rates have not yet been checked against the agreement. Confirm the AEA deductions and fringes with the union before remitting." At Submit, you confirm you reviewed those amounts before sending, approving, or submitting the payroll.
Levels 1 to 3
Since 2026-10-10 the same agreement also carries Levels 1, 2 and 3, in each of its four bands under the same titles. A contract on this agreement has to name its level (company setup, the contract change, New payee and the payee form all refuse one without it), and each payee's minimum comes from their contract's level.
| Level | Actor | Stage Manager | ASM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (side letter "Level One (A)") | $600.00 | $720.00 | $660.00 |
| Level 2 ("Level Two (A)") | $660.00 | $792.00 | $726.00 |
| Level 3 ("Level Three (B)") | $690.00 | $828.00 | $760.00 |
These are weekly minimums from the side letter's 7/29/2024 tables, and Greenroom uses the same figure in every band. Health, pension and dues are the same at every level. Choreography is paid at $30 per choreographed sequence, offered at Level 1 (up to 3 sequences a week) and Level 2 (up to 6); Run Payroll's Add menu stops the line at that maximum. A payroll at any level shows the same note as Level Four, and asks for the same confirmation at Submit.
Two documents Greenroom received on 2026-10-14 differ from these figures. The Off-Broadway League's 2026-27 table to its members has higher Level 1 to 3 minimums than Greenroom carries for the current year: Level 1 $647 / $777 / $712, Level 2 $712 / $842 / $777 and Level 3 $745 / $893 / $820 a week (Actor / Stage Manager / ASM). The table prints no start date; Greenroom's band for that agreement year starts 2026-07-27. Greenroom's figures come from a draft of the side letter, and the final, executed side letter sets Level 2's 2024 Stage Manager and ASM minimums at $780 and $720, where Greenroom carries $792 and $726. If you have a payee at Level 1, 2 or 3, check their rate against the League's table with your Greenroom contact before the next payroll.
USA Off-Broadway (2025-30)
Every rate on file, by rate set: USA 829 Off-Broadway.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Dues | 2% of gross |
| Pension | 9% |
| IATSE NBF | 13% |
USA Development (Project-Only, 2024-26)
Every rate on file, by rate set: USA 829 Project Only Agreement.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Pension | 10% |
| NBF | 12% |
| Dues | 2% |
| Design fee | Negotiated per project, no set minimum |
SDC Off-Broadway Pension & Health
Every rate on file, by rate set: SDC Off-Broadway.
SDC Off-Broadway pension and health come in several forms under the SDC / Off-Broadway League agreement (MOA of May 6, 2025). Greenroom calculates the weekly, daily and developmental contributions; it does not calculate the one-time initial contribution.
| Item | Rate | Source and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly pension and health, from the first week of rehearsal | $187 pension and $265 health a week through 2026-08-31; $215 pension and $282 health a week from 2026-09-01 | SDC's own Off-Broadway rate schedule for 2026-27. The September figures were corrected on 2026-09-18 from a derived +10% ($205.70 and $291.50) after a production's company manager quoted SDC's sheet. |
| Paid by the day | 1/6 of the weekly figure for each paid day: $35.83 pension and $47.00 health from 2026-09-01 ($31.17 and $44.17 before) | The agreement prorates benefits by 1/6 when paid by the day. Applied automatically to daily-paid entries; a weekly entry keeps the weekly figure. |
| Developmental work (14 days or fewer) | $50 per day of rehearsal to the two funds together from 2026-09-01, capped at $350 per member per contract ($40 a day and $280 before) | MOA Art. VI(H)(1). SDC decides each year how the amount splits between the two funds; until it says, Greenroom splits it 50/50 ($25 a day each, capped at $175 each). The cap counts what earlier approved payrolls on the same contract already paid. |
| Initial pension and health contribution | A one-time percentage of the contractual fee and advance at contract execution: 8.5% until 2026-08-31, 9% from 2026-09-01, 10% from 2028-07-01 (MOA Art. XI(A) and (C)) | Not calculated by Greenroom. Adding an SDC Off-Broadway contract in Company Setup lists an Initial pension & health review item, and Greenroom confirms the contribution, its signing date and any outside payment with you. |
| Dues | 3% of gross | SDC's Broadway agreement; the Off-Broadway agreement doesn't state a dues rate |
Greenroom carries one weekly pension-and-health pair for all of Off-Broadway, at the Commercial (Categories A–E) figures. The agreement prices not-for-profit categories differently (Categories 1–5, for example, pay a fixed block covering the first twelve weeks), so if your production is a not-for-profit category, raise it with your Greenroom contact before its first SDC payroll.
There is no SDC Off-Broadway minimum to look up, because fees are negotiated per contract. The seven Off-Broadway titles (Director, Choreographer, Director/Choreographer, and the associate and assistant directors and choreographers) exist so a payee can be assigned one.
Local 802 (American Federation of Musicians) — Broadway
Every rate on file, by rate set: Local 802 Broadway.
Greenroom carries three year-chained rate sets: Year 1 from 2025-09-01, Year 2 from 2026-08-31, and Year 3 from 2027-08-30.
| Set | Source |
|---|---|
| Year 2 (from 2026-08-31) | The Broadway League Labor Department's memo "Local 802 Musicians — Rates effective Monday, August 31, 2026", dated 2026-08-26 and issued to theatre operators and general managers. Checked line by line: 33 of 33 restated dollar rates match Greenroom's set to the cent — performance salary $2,459.10, rehearsal week $2,570.78, day rate $199.23, weekly health $323.20, per-performance health $40.40, and every overtime and Schedule A/B/C line Greenroom carries. |
| Year 1 (from 2025-09-01) | A rate workbook. Its weekly health figure differs by 4 cents from the MOA article it cites. |
| Year 3 (from 2027-08-30) | The same workbook, with the same 4-cent difference. |
A payroll whose period falls in Year 1 or Year 3 shows a note on Payroll Summary, "Local 802 Broadway rates have not yet been checked against the agreement. Confirm the Local 802 deductions and fringes with the union before remitting.", and at Submit you confirm you reviewed those amounts before sending, approving, or submitting the payroll. A payroll in Year 2 shows neither. How that is decided, and what a producer sees of it, is on Union Studio Versions and Publishing. The League's memo also lists lines Greenroom's rule set does not carry in any year — out-of-town break-in rates, AFM Pamphlet B touring rates, the facility fee, group sales, and several Schedule B and C entries. That is a scope boundary rather than a discrepancy; a production that needs one of them should raise it with its Greenroom contact.
A Rehearsal Musician or Rehearsal Pianist engaged by the week has their own weekly health line (HL-3) in place of the all-titles weekly health: $257.20 in Year 1, $277.90 in Year 2 and $298.60 in Year 3, which is five times that year's over-2-hours daily health cap plus $10. In a week that also counts performances, Greenroom bills the per-performance health on top of HL-3, with the weekly health figure as a combined cap, except for rehearsal pianists, whom the agreement exempts from the cap.
IATSE Pink Contract (2023–2027)
Every rate on file, by rate set: IATSE Broadway.
Greenroom's figures come from the Pink benefits and rate sheets, checked against the CBA workbook on 2026-07-17. The Year 4 rate memo (from 2026-06-29) runs to the agreement's expiry on 2027-06-27.
| Item | Rate | Source and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly minimums (Year 4, from 2026-06-29) | Head of Department $3,400.00 · Assistant $3,200.00 | |
| Health & Welfare | $534.00/week through 2026-12-31, then $546.00/week from 2027-01-01 | IATSE National Benefit Fund memo effective 12/17/2025. The step applies itself on 2027-01-01; weekly minimums and everything else are unchanged. |
| Health & Welfare — partial week | $89/day, then $91/day from 2027-01-01 | Recorded, not billed: a partial week is charged the full weekly figure, and the daily rate can't be selected on a run. |
| Pension | $80.00/week, frozen for the 7/3/2023–6/27/2027 term; applies in full at four or more days worked | |
| Pension — under four days | $16.00 per day ($48 / $32 / $16) | Recorded, not billed: the weekly figure is charged in full on a partial week. |
| Annuity | 12.5% of base salary, frozen for the term | |
| Training Trust Fund | $65.00 per performance week, frozen for the term, owed once per production rather than once per crew member | Greenroom charges it once for each week of a payroll that includes IATSE pay at a non-rehearsal rate, on the first such entry, and doesn't charge a week another payroll already paid. |
| Vacation | 5% of base salary (stagehands and make-up/hair; personal and star dressers 7%) | |
| Holiday pay | The greater of 1/6 of the actual weekly salary and 1.5 × 1/6 (that is, 1/4) of the weekly minimum for the title | Offered on a run since 2026-08-29, with its arithmetic shown; see Adding Employees. Before that it was a note beside a zero. |
A partial Pink week is charged the full weekly Health & Welfare and Pension, which is more than the daily rates in the table, so budget a partial week at the weekly figures.
ATPAM
Greenroom pays ATPAM annuity by check, to IATSE National Benefits Funds – ATPAM, on Broadway and Off-Broadway (the Development agreement has no annuity). ATPAM pension settles through the .045 box-office stream on Broadway and Development, and by check on Off-Broadway. On a payroll's Union Reports step, each employer fund that can settle through the .045 has its own toggle, so a production that settles a fund differently can switch it for that payroll; see Fund Routing.
ATPAM Broadway (League scale from 2026-09-07)
Every rate on file, by rate set: ATPAM Broadway.
Checked against the Broadway League Labor Department's memo "ATPAM Rates and MBA/MOA Changes Effective September 7, 2026", dated 2026-09-04. A pay period ending on or after 2026-09-07 prices on this scale; an earlier one keeps the 2025 scale.
| Item | Rate | Source and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly minimums | Company Manager $3,003.74 · Company Manager - Large Show $3,118.74 · Associate Company Manager $2,158.57 · NMAM $1,423.08 · Press Agent $2,906.66 | The League's memo |
| Overscale Increase (for a manager on an overscale agreement) | Company Manager and Large Show $85.59 · Associate $62.87 · NMAM $41.45 · Press Agent $70.90 a week | The League's memo |
| Tech Premium | 1/6 of the title's weekly minimum for each week of Tech, from cast-on-stage through the week of Official Opening, for Company Managers, Associates and NMAMs (not Press Agents) | New with this scale. Add it as a one-time item each tech week: Greenroom has no tech calendar to stop it at opening. Where the employer and the manager have folded it into overscale, don't add it as well. |
| Health, pension, annuity | $235 a week; 8% and 10.5% of salary plus vacation | Restated unchanged by the memo |
| Holiday Pay | 1/6 of a week's contractual salary per holiday (1/12 for Lincoln's Birthday), for Company Managers and Large Show Company Managers | MOA 2023-2028 ¶12. Added 2026-10-13. Run Payroll offers it as a one-time line under This week's activity, asking which holiday; it is never a standing weekly premium and can't be saved to the payee profile. |
| Extra Event | 1/8 of a week's contractual salary per event, same titles | MOA ¶11. Added 2026-10-13, offered the same way. |
| Televised Press Appearance | 1/12 of the title's minimum per appearance, same titles | MOA ¶15, from 2024-09-09. Added 2026-10-13, offered the same way. |
| Sole Company Manager Premium | 1/12 of the minimum a week, Company Manager - Large Show only, until a second manager starts | MOA ¶16, from 2025-09-08. Added 2026-10-13. It stops in a week when another payee on the same payroll is an ATPAM Broadway Company Manager, Large Show Company Manager or Associate Company Manager, and the review step says why. |
| Vacation | 8.5% of covered pay, premiums included | Restated unchanged by the memo. Since 2026-10-13 it's computed on all covered pay, so it rides the Overscale Increase, the Tech Premium and the one-time premiums above; until then Greenroom computed it on base salary alone. |
| Dues | 3.75% of salary plus vacation | Carried forward from the 2025 scale; the memo doesn't restate dues |
The memo also prices Theater Managers, endangered-theatre minimums and touring levels. Greenroom carries none of them today; raise it with your Greenroom contact if your production needs one.
ATPAM Off-Broadway
Every rate on file, by rate set: ATPAM Off-Broadway.
Checked on 2026-07-21 against the executed Off-Broadway Minimum Basic Agreement (ATPAM / IATSE Local 18032) and its rate sheet effective 2025-09-08. The weekly minimums step on 2026-10-13, to ATPAM's Off-Broadway rate sheet for that date: a pay period ending on or after 2026-10-13 prices on them, and an earlier one keeps the 2025 sheet's minimums.
| Item | Rate | Source and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly minimums from 2026-10-13 | Company Manager Cat A $1,256.38 · Cat B $1,296.30 · Cat C $1,484.08 · Cat D $1,792.65; Press Agent Cat A $1,219.65 · Cat B $1,258.36 · Cat C $1,440.68 · Cat D $1,652.02 | ATPAM's Off-Broadway rate sheet effective 2026-10-13, from a production's general manager, 2026-10-21. Company Manager Cat D rises 8.5% where the other seven rise 3%; the general manager confirmed it is ATPAM's figure. |
| Welfare / health | $235 a week; $245 a week for a pay period ending on or after 2026-09-07 | A production's general manager, 2026-09-18 |
| Pension | $150 a week | The Minimum Basic Agreement and its rate sheet |
| Vacation | 8.5% of the weekly wage, including recurring premiums such as overscale | Written confirmation, 2026-09-18; until then Greenroom figured it on base salary alone |
| Dues | 3.75% of salary plus vacation | Written confirmation, 2026-09-18; until then Greenroom left vacation out of the dues base |
| Annuity | 6% of salary plus vacation | The Minimum Basic Agreement and its rate sheet. Paid by check (see ATPAM above) |
ATPAM Development (Special Agreement)
Every rate on file, by rate set: ATPAM Development.
Developmental productions run under ATPAM's Special Agreement (revised 2022-08-23), not the Broadway fringe line. Checked on 2026-09-15 against a rate sheet and the executed agreement.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Company Manager minimum | $1,200 a week |
| Welfare | $235 a week |
| Pension | 8% of gross |
| Dues | 3.75% of gross |
| Annuity and vacation | None: the agreement requires no annuity and pays no vacation |
This governs every pay period ending on or after 2025-09-01. Greenroom holds it as two sets, 2025-09-01 through 2026-08-31 and from 2026-09-01, with the same four figures, both checked against the agreement.
