TECHNICAL LABOR INFORMATION
All labor is provided by the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts (DECPA). Crew calls should be supplied to the Production Supervisor as far in advance of the event as possible. There is no full time stage crew; all technicians are scheduled by the Production Supervisor per the client’s request and billed accordingly. Unscheduled calls or changes which arise during the production process should be communicated to the Production Supervisor in a timely manner so as to ensure the most qualified personnel are secured. Cancellation of scheduled calls is subject to full labor charges if all attempts to contact crew personnel are unsuccessful.
Calls are scheduled at a four (4) hour minimum and no more than five (5) hours between meal breaks. There is a minimum two (2) hour call back from a meal break on continuous calls. Meal breaks are either a one (1) hour unpaid break, or a half (½) hour break that is paid and catered. Fifteen (15) minute breaks are taken at the mid-point of each call. Work cannot be scheduled in overtime without the Production Supervisor’s approval.
Overtime (payable at 1 ½ times the current pay rate) will be assessed for any work done between midnight and 8am, or when the production requires the same person to work more than forty (40) hours in one pay-week that runs from Monday morning until the end of load out Sunday night.
DECPA is owned and operated by the City of Raleigh. To ensure the safety of personnel, patrons and property, no one except City of Raleigh Stage Technicians may operate any house owned equipment. At no time will the failure to fulfill a call allow persons other than City of Raleigh employees to operate any house equipment. DECPA retains the right to approve decorators, contractors or other service personnel employed by the client.
Safety to persons and property is considered the most important rule of consideration. If at any time the well being of staff, patrons or equipment is threatened or jeopardized, it is within the power of the house staff to terminate these actions immediately.
