Pay or play contract
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pay or play clause in an entertainment contract means that the person who is being hired (typically an actor) is guaranteed payment regardless of whether he or she actually works. For example, if a natural disaster shuts down a production, or a new director is brought on who wants to make casting changes, actors with a pay-or-play contracts will receive their contracted salary even though they are no longer on the project. Pay-or-play contracts are generally offered only to A-list actors who have a greater amount of bargaining power.
