Instructions for DGA Employment Data Report
Pursuant to Article 15 of the DGA Basic Agreement and Article 19 of the DGA Freelance Live
& Tape Television Agreement, Employers are required to submit a report of the sex and
ethnicity of persons they employ.
This report should be submitted quarterly on a per-production basis, not on a per-episode basis.
When completing the Employment Data Report, statistics should be provided in the manner and
form outlined as follows:
1. Indicate the number of people employed in the appropriate box for groups as listed
below:
Caucasian Asian
African American American Indian
Latino Unknown
2 Indicate the total number of days worked or guaranteed in that quarter. Total days should
include travel days, prep days, production days and post-production days. When the
same member is employed on multiple episodes in a series, the employee should only be
counted once in the "number of employees," but all the employee''s cumulative days
worked should be included in the total number of days worked or guaranteed. For
example:
DIRECTOR: Number of first time directors: 1
Caucasian African-Amer. Latino Asian Amer. Indian Unknown
MALE 1/56
FEMALE 2/25
The above example shows that one male Caucasian director was employed during the quarter
for a total of 56 days worked or guaranteed. The example also reports that there were two
female African American directors employed for a cumulative total of 25 days worked or
guaranteed. It also indicates that one of these three directors is a first time director.
