Employee obligations: exclusivity requirements: actors.

Existing law imposes obligations on a contract for personal services. Specifically, existing law, except as specified, prohibits enforcement of a personal service contract beyond 7 years from the commencement of service under the contract and imposes additional requirements on an employee who is a party to a contract to render personal services in the production of specified phonorecords. This bill, except under prescribed circumstances, would prohibit a contract for the personal or professional services of an employee as an actor, as specified, from prohibiting the employee from working for multiple employers. This bill would provide that it applies to such an employment contract amended or entered into on or after January 1, 2023. The bill, except as specified, would provide that it voids any provision in a contract amended or entered into on or after January 1, 2023, that would deprive an employee of the bill's protections.
