To ensure their protection, Equity members working under the Artists’ Collective Policy (ACP) must be insured under Equity’s Health & Insurance benefits program.
Insurance premium payments and the $25.00 processing fee must be submitted to Equity with the ACP Application Form.
Member Insurance under the ACP
Insurance Premiums
| Coverage Level | Premium Rate |
|---|---|
Premium 1 | $12.00 / member per Engagement Week |
The Engagement Week runs from Monday to Sunday, inclusive.
Insurance premiums are required for all performance weeks in addition to the week prior to the first public performance.
Equity encourages insurance coverage to be in place for the full duration of the artistic activity/production. However, as informal or part-time rehearsals may be scheduled, insurance premiums for part-time rehearsals are not mandatory. If an insurance premium is not paid for a rehearsal week, insurance coverage will not apply for that week.
Calculating Insurance Premiums
Total number of rehearsal and performance weeks (Monday to Sunday inclusive) x Total number of Equity members participating x $12.00 = Total amount of insurance premiums
Please note: Insured weeks on an ACP do not count towards an Equity member’s eligibility for off-contract insurance coverage.
