SAG states “There is NO Union Agreement for Audiobooks” and Rates are set on an individual basis per Talent and Publisher. The Common Standard has been a Rate billed Per Finished Hour (PFH) and the SAG-AFTRA member minimum Rate for most Publishers is $210.00 Per Finished Hour. Contributions for Audiobook work go to the AFTRA H&R Fund because this work fell under AFTRA’s jurisdiction before the Unions merged.
