What do the AMPTP/IATSE 2024 Memorandum of Agreement texts say about rest-period penalties, the meal grace period and rest-period calculation that a US production schedule must respect, and what do they not contain?

The 2024 AMPTP/IATSE MOA (dated July 3, 2024, in the Motion Picture Editors Guild combined PDF) replaces 'additional straight time' with 'additional double time' for invaded rest, and records a bulletin that the 12-minute meal grace period 'shall not be scheduled nor automatic nor is it intended for everyday use'; this PDF does not state the daily rest-period hours (curator full count of 'ten (10) hours' = 0); the MOA says it is not contract language except where context clearly indicates. Curator qualifications: Curator addition: the bracketed effective date is a formula (first Sunday 90 days after August 4, 2024, or the business day AMPTP receives ratification notice, whichever is later), not an empty placeholder; the resulting calendar date was not resolved from a source. Host copy vs iatse.net MOA not compared (iatse.net 403 to producer). Local Agreements with base hours not read. Text observation only; no legal conclusion on applicability or enforcement. Curator amendment CA-AM-0027 (2026-10-22): Resolved by C3R-0064 (C3-B038-G13-01): the MOA formula gives Sunday November 3, 2024 (90 days after August 4, 2024 is Saturday November 2), and the AMPTP-hosted Area Standards Agreement states the double-time rest penalty for productions commencing principal photography on or after November 3, 2024 (readback ab80353b3ab82ded). The West Coast Studio Local Agreements' executed text was not read. Limitations: Text observation only; no legal conclusion on applicability or enforcement. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
