Section 6. Credited Week.
- For the period prior to March 31, 1960, the term “Credited
Week” as used herein shall mean a week of employment worked in the Industry
for which an employer in the Industry would have been required to make a contribution
had this Plan been in effect and had such employer been an Employer hereunder
at the time in question.
- For the period commencing March 31, 1960, the term “Credited
Week” as used herein shall mean (1) a week of employment for which an Employer
is required to make a contribution to this Plan, (2) a week of employment
for which an employer made a contribution to the WGA Pension Trust Fund For
The Broadcast Industry, the number of such weeks (not to exceed 52) each calendar
year to be established by dividing $400 into the compensation paid during
each calendar year by the employer to a Participant in the WGA Pension Trust
Fund For The Broadcast Industry, or (3) a week of employment with an Employer
for which the Employer is not required to make a contribution to this Plan,
provided that such week of employment precedes or follows (without other intervening
employment or an intervening quit, discharge or retirement) employment with
the same Employer for which employment such Employer is or was required to
make a contribution to this Plan.
- A Participant who earns $5,000 of “gross compensation” in
a Plan Year ($3,200 for Plan Years before 1997) shall be deemed to earn eight
Credited Weeks for that Plan Year. For this purpose “gross compensation” shall
mean the amount of compensation upon which Employer contributions are based,
as set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement from time to time.
- With respect to Participants who become Participants by
virtue of being employees of a Named Employer, such Participants shall receive
in addition to the Credited Weeks determined under the preceding provisions
of this Section and upon the completion of five consecutive Qualified Years
of employment by such a Named Employer, a Credited Week for each week of employment
performed in the motion picture film industry prior to employment by such
a Named Employer.
