Work can come and go, and new contracts are being drawn up for jobs daily. If you don\u2019t have someone\u00a0to help you navigate the terms of your employment, it\u2019s really important to know what you\u2019re signing your name to! Here&#8217;s how you can get started&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_1536,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1703\/helloquence-61189.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1703\/helloquence-61189.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t accept a verbal agreement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While this can be common in an industry where lots of people trade work for a pint, if you\u2019re doing a paid job for any extended period there should really be a contract. Of course, between friends and small struggling theatre companies, this can be tough, but it really isn\u2019t a good idea to accept any paid work that doesn\u2019t also come with a contract. Of course, we all want to come across as friendly and easy to work with, but it\u2019s important to protect your rights where payment between you and an employer is concerned. First thing is first: get that contract in writing!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read the whole thing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it can be a bit tedious, but it\u2019s really important to read the entire contract. Set aside a quiet afternoon with your red pen in hand and make sure it all gets covered, even if it\u2019s quite dry. Break it up with your latest Netflix obsession if you must \u2013 just make sure it all gets read!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read it more than once<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Okay you got through it once \u2013 now it\u2019s time to read it again. It has to be crystal clear to you, as this is a binding legal document and if anything happens that you aren\u2019t happy with, you need to make sure you\u2019re protected by this agreement. Make notes of anything you don\u2019t understand along the way.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ask questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t be worried about looking silly \u2013 it\u2019s more important that the terms are clear to you. Go back to whoever has given you the contract to check that you are in fact understanding everything that is being asked of you, and that is being given in return. If you need help understanding a contract or getting some basic legal advice,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equity.org.uk\/home\/\">Equity<\/a>\u00a0is a great place to start &#8211; they also have some useful information\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equity.org.uk\/getting-involved\/campaigns\/professionally-made-professionally-paid\/for-performers-and-creative-workers\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_1536,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1704\/brad-neathery-258926.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1704\/brad-neathery-258926.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Understand what should be included, and what\u2019s missing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Generally, any terms in a contract will be defined \u2013 and if a term isn\u2019t defined, that can be a problem! But this is a common omission in contracts, when important terms aren\u2019t defined properly. It should be clear between you and whoever has given you the contract what each element actually means. So, for instance, the \u201cExtent of Services\u201d, \u201cBenefits\u201d, \u201cNotice\u201d etc. are all important terms outlining aspects essential to the work you will do, how you\u2019ll be compensated for that work, and how long you\u2019re expected to be working. If there are holes, you need to speak up!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Remember that you can negotiate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you find something you disagree with or want to negotiate, that is totally within your rights. Don\u2019t just accept something because it\u2019s in writing \u2013 you\u2019re allowed to make changes and ask for things to be added or removed, as you see fit. A contract is negotiable until it\u2019s signed, and even then, it can be renegotiated, but it takes a lot more effort to change (and if you\u2019re asking for more, there will be little incentive for the other party to negotiate with you!). Performing work is generally fixed-term, so there probably isn&#8217;t a chance to go back and re-negotiate halfway through if it&#8217;s a short term gig. So ask for what you want up front \u2013 there\u2019s no harm in asking!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Be reasonable \u2013 research what you can expect<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, you have to be reasonable about what you ask for, but there\u2019s no harm in at least asking the question. It helps to do your research first, talk to your fellow performers who have negotiated their own contracts, or seek out industry advice about what is legal and fair. While you\u2019d be best advised not to ask for too much, don\u2019t simply agree to something that makes you uncomfortable without consulting someone or requesting a change. Knowledge is power, so make sure you\u2019re informed before you sign!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you\u2019re ever confused, stuck or just need some advice,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equity.org.uk\/home\/\">Equity<\/a>\u00a0provide legal support and advice to all members for free.
