Normal Day 

In line with other employees of the EICC any breaks would be unpaid. We would assume that if you are working more than a 10 hour shift then at least an hour would be taken for breaks – this may be several smaller breaks over the course of the shift rather than one straight hour.

Short Day 

There may be occasions that we will not require a technician for a full day:  It may be that it is a short morning, afternoon or evening event.

This may also occur where a conference is coming to an end and the last day finishes at lunchtime – if there have been several full days and the final day finishes on a shorter day we would expect that this shorter day can be charged on a half day rate rather than a full day rate.  This may also be the case if a conference is due to start in the evening and then run for following days.

The minimum shift that you would be asked to work would be 5 hours and this would be paid at your standard hourly rate*.

We will always try to rota a 10 hour shift; however 12 hour days will occur on occasion to sensibly accommodate event requirements.

On these occasions, your normal day rate would apply, with the understanding that if an event goes over 10 hours ** we would pay each hour at your standard hourly rate* for the 11^th and 12^th hour.

* The standard hourly rate for technicians would be the full day rate divided by 10.

** Unless your daily rate is stated as a 12 hour shift.
