Note: SAG requires you to provide a 2nd

meal 6h after the 1st meal.

1ST MEAL

The start/finish times for first meal (6h

from call or ND Meal)

NON-DEDUCTIBLE MEAL

If you provided an mini-meal before the

1st meal, mark the in/out times here.

Note: ND meals reset SAG’s required meal

clock back 6h, but can only be provided

within 2h after call time.

- Leave for Location: The time the

performer leaves their home/hotel to

travel to a distant location.

- Arrive on Location: The time the

performer arrives at a distant location.

- Leave Location: The time the actor

departs from the distant location.

- Arrive at Studio: If sent to a studio,

the time the actor arrived there.

Distant Location Travel TimesAlthough, travel time to and from set or location is usually

not considered work time, if the set is far away, outside the

guild’s designated studio zones, you must record travel time

as part of their work day. Otherwise, ignore these sections.

Sign, Rinse & RepeatMake sure each performer signs the Exhibit G in the far right

column before leaving set. Scan the form, save it, and prepare

a new, blank form for the next day of production.

The finalized Exhibit G’s are due to the SAG-AFTRA offices on a

weekly basis. This gives you time to fill in missing details and

gather missing signatures.
