When a director is repped by a production company, does a director only earn money on a job by job basis, or are they on a salary?

But the vast majority...especially at union shops...only earn when they work, job by job.

Yes, though some do still get valuable signing bonuses, which can help cover some of the downtime.

Depends on the production company and the deal negotiated. Not the same for everyone.

And just to elaborate in EP’s point... a director who is a co-owner of the production company will make a cut of what the company is making, so they may be willing to take less of a day rate on the job. The director fee gets a line item though, so they’ll get paid directly from the job + whatever they may make through company earnings or markup percentage
