As much as we all love the experience of working at an event or festival, the big question still remains… when’s pay day?!
For ALL event and festival work, DC Site Services pays on a fortnightly basis with a cut-off of each Saturday. This means that if you are working Monday>Monday, in the first pay run post-event you would be paid for work completed Monday up to and including the Saturday. Work on the Sunday and following Monday would be in the next pay run, two weeks later.
We’ve a busy season ahead and do appreciate that this may cause a little confusion, as such, below is a breakdown of a payment schedule you can expect over the next few months.

This is of course subject to change pending any issues with bank details, emergencies within the office etc. However, all payments can be expected no later than four weeks after your last shift.
