APA RATES
The information below refers to non-APA commercial shoots. For APA crew terms and conditions, please see the attached document:
Rates and hours
Rates will be based on a pre-negotiated day length (e.g 10 or 12 hours).
A normal day will include a one hour break which is included within the agreed day length - e.g. if the day is a 10 hour day, it will be made up of 9 working hours plus one hour break.
If either kit or vehicle is to be supplied, or if the shoot is outside of the M25 then start/finish times are calculated from base-to-base (base is my home address London, SE15).
Where a shoot is within the M25, the start/finish times are calculated from the filming location or call/wrap locations.
Overtime and breaks
Overtime will be charged for any hour or part of hour worked over the agreed day length. The normal fee for overtime is calculated on a time-and-a-half basis, unless after midnight, when it is calculated at the overtime rate multiple by a factor of three (herein referred to as T1.5 and T3 respectively).
If a lunch break or dinner break is missed, this will also be charged at the overtime rate as above (T1.5). If no break is offered within 6 hours of starting work, then a missed meal break will be charged - again this is charged at T1.5.
Standard layover time of 11 hours between wrap and call times apply. If this is broken overtime will be charged of T1.5 for the number of hours. For example, If wrapping at 2300 and called the following day at 0700, a layover charge of 3 hours will be added.
Travel Days
Travel days will be charged at 70% rate.
Cancellation
Standard cancellation fees apply if a confirmed shoot is then cancelled. If notice of cancellation is given between 48 to 24 hours or less from the shoot start time, the fee is 100% of the agreed day rate. If 48 hours or more notice is given, the fee is 50% of the agreed day rate.
Expenses
Expenses will be added to the invoice unless provided for on location by production
Payment Terms
Payment terms are strictly upon receipt of invoice. Invoices are due for payment within 30 days of receipt.
Hire of equipment
The client assumes responsibility for all equipment hired from or through Alex Knowles which is lost, stolen or damaged by its employees / sub-contractors or whilst in the care of its employees / contractors. As such, any costs incurred as a result of loss/damage/replacement costs incurred by Alex Knowles as a result of such loss, will be the charged to the client.
When supplying kit I am able to provide a 6 seat VW Transporter crew van at £85 per day. When providing kit, alternative transport provided by production will need to meet equipment insurance expectations, such as deadlocks, security panels and alarm.
Milage is to be charged at 65p/pm. Expenses such as parking, congestion charge and subsistence will be added to the final invoice.
