The new contract will give employees who work as editors on the NBC sketch-comedy series immediate pay increases and healthcare benefits.
Crew members will see raises ranging from 7.5% to 33.5%, the source close to negotiations said. Some crew members who worked in February also will get a ratification bonus of $250 or $500, depending on the number of days worked, the source said. Some crew members could see an overall pay bump as high as 60.5% by the end of the contract term.‘The Last of Us’ star Pedro Pascal will bring his TV takeover to Studio 8H, where he will make his hosting debut on ‘Saturday Night Live.
Healthcare benefits will also be extended to all crew members. The contract also made official other benefits that NBC had long given its crew, such as meals, hotel stays and car service to transport workers to and from home. Such benefits help ease hectic work schedules that include tight turnarounds in editing skits, which are often shot on Friday, with postproduction work sometimes wrapping just minutes before airtime on Saturday night
New benefits include bereavement leave. Additionally, the company and union made a joint commitment to promote diversity, equity and inclusion on the crew.
