July 27 (IBNS) Each of Octomother Nadya Suleman’s 14 children would earn $250 a day, thanks to her signing of agreements.

The contracts, which require a judge’s nod, were filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. It guaranteed that the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years.

The deal was inked between European production firm Eyeworks and Suleman. Eyeworks lists “Breaking Bonaduce” and “The Biggest Loser” among its television credits. The show is slated to begin filming September 1, according to the documents.

The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman’s kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate.

The contract also states that 15 per cent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a “Coogan Trust Account,” as required by California law.

Suleman and a website that shot video of her children have faced allegations of labor abuses in recent months.

Suleman gave birth to the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets on Jan. 26.
