If you are released early due to wrapping earlier than expected, most of the time you will still be paid the full time in which you were contracted pending what your booking agreement states, please double-check with your agent if you are unsure as all bookings are different. If you were late, released due to performance or did not complete your booking on your own accord for any reason, you will only be paid for the completed portion, less any break time and may be held liable for any damages incurred in result of.

How do breaks work?

Breaks vary depending on the Client and the Booking. 

We recommend (1) 10 minute rest break after 4 hrs worked & (1) 30 minute meal break for a a booking between 5 - 8 hrs, if a booking lasts over 8 hrs but under 10 hrs, we would recommend an additional rest break and if the booking exceeds 10 hrs we would recommend an additional meal break.

If you are ever working an event and are having any issues whatsoever regarding your break(s), please reach out to the Agency so we can do our best to figure out a resolution. 

If you arrive late to a booking or do not complete a booking due to your own accord for any reason or are released by the client due to performance, your break time may be deducted from your total rate/completed hours.
