What are Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) rates for appearances?

I know that a Big Star can of course demand anything they darn well want, but I'm looking for "what am I as a venue required to pay any member of SAG who's coming to a convention or similar appearance"? That is, the minimum that I could pay someone and not get them and myself in trouble for violating the rules?


It seems their site is down and I have no idea where to go elsewhere to look.

I don't think that's right. Appearance (section 53) only is if it's part of their job (i.e. promoting a film or something.)

They don't HAVE to charge anything, but they can. If it was for chariety most do it for free, if it's for a Con or something, you have to ask them what their rates are. Sometimes they don't charge (but you still need to pick up room, board, travel) and ask for a token fee to keep from being asked to EVERY tiny event.

its a ballpark figure .. but, the thing is, asking the Pro is the best way to find out.
