Nightlife workers are often on
shockingly low wages, and we're having absolutely none of it.
We can't dismantle capitalism overnight, but we can demand a
fair wage for skilled, specialist workers while we bring on
the revolution ;)
To that end, all of our staff are paid a minimum of £15.50
per hour - the real real living wage*! Our overhead
generally takes this to a total of £20ph per worker +VAT at
20%.
We appreciate that not all of our customers are VAT
registered, and cannot claim back the extra cost. We want to
be flexible here, so for our non-VAT registered
customers, our standard rate is £19ph, +VAT. With that, we
always welcome conversation about what works for your budget
here.
A note on fundraisers - we love to work them! And we
want you to raise as much as possible! So depending on
the scale of your event, we would be happy to waive our
overhead altogether, so would just charge the hourly rate per
worker, plus VAT (darn that VAT...).
We share this in the interest of transparency, and welcome
any hot insider tips and tricks of the trade to help us
navigate the very unqueer world of business management!
Our Cancellation Policy:
We understand that sometimes last minute changes happen that
are beyond control. However, we want to make sure our workers
don't miss out on earnings any more than they have to when
this is the case. Our cancellation policy means that you may
still have to pay some or all of the expected booking fee,
depending on when you cancel;
Cancellation within 72 hours - payment of up to 25% of
booking
Cancellation within 48 hours - payment of up to 50% of
booking
Cancellation within 24 hours - payment of up to 75% of
booking
Cancellation within 12 hours/on the day - payment of up to
100% of booking
