An Update on Your Pay.

Posted on Friday, May 13, 2022

Last December, DC Site Services announced the new event crew pay rates for the 2022 season and our decision to pay an additional 50 pence above the national minimum wage increase. Crew aged 22 and under would receive £9.45 ph plus £1.14 holiday pay (£10.59), while crew 23 and over would receive £10 ph plus £1.21 holiday pay (£11.21)

After a lot of consideration, DC Site Services is pleased to confirm that from now on all crew working in the same position will receive the same rate of pay regardless of age. We’re implementing this change as we strongly believe in fair pay for the same work.

The below is a statement from our Crew Handbook:

‘DC Site Services is an equal rights and equal opportunities employer. We employ staff from all walks of life and are accepting of all, regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, gender, disability, background, nationality etc. No matter who you are, if you work hard and treat others with respect then you deserve to be treated the same way.’

One rate for all crew is £10 ph plus £1.21 ph holiday pay (£11.21 per hour).

Let’s get to work!

I wanted to send a personal message of thanks to you and your team for all their hard work in assisting with the delivery of the broadcast recording at Whitby Abbey. 

From my perspective, I tried incredibly hard to impress on everyone involved in the production just how important it was to ‘leave no trace’ and I have been thrilled to hear the feedback that has suggested we were largely successful in that quest.  The way the venue was kept spotless and ‘sanitised’ is a credit to you and your on-site colleagues – so well done.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with DC Site Services again and both Frankie and I look forward to doing so again in the future.
