Labour

The rental agencies and venue usually require that their own technical support staff are used for an event. It is important to know in advance what is the hourly rate per person, what is the minimum call out time (i.e., a technician may only be needed for 2 hours, but the contract states that he/she will be paid for 4), when does overtime start, what are the mandated breaks, who is responsible for providing meals, whether set-up and take-down must be done by the same person, and whether volunteers or outside help can be used, or if anyone involved must be an employee of the venue or rental company. Keep in mind that it is worth it to pay a little extra to have the equipment and technicians come a little early to ensure that everything is working and meets the event’s needs.
