the People : Industry Agreements (Actors, In-House ITV,

Minimum rates of pay for day and night work are defined, as are overtime rates
and additional payments for use of the walk-onās work in more than one episode
of a series, and for work on public holidays or on night calls. These rates
also buy all the necessary consents to enable the producing ITV Company to make
use of the recorded performance.
Walk-ons in category 1 are not entitled to repeat fees (unless
the repeat takes place more than five years from the first transmission),
but those in the other two categories are, according to a formula set out
in the agreement. Under this formula, the repeat fees vary according to whether
the programme is repeated over only part or the
whole
of the ITV network (or on Channel 4), and according to the time at which the
repeat transmission takes place.
Walk-ons are not entitled to further payment in respect of
overseas sales of the programme.
Like the Main Agreement, the Walk-ons Agreement contains
a great deal of practical detail.
Though the fees set out in the Walk-ons Agreement are expressed
as minimum fees, it is customary for those engaged under this agreement to
work for the minima set out.
