Flex Agreement
A flexibility document allows an amendment to the Live Performance Award. This agreement allows FCC to pay a flat rate for all work hours than those specified in the award. The award's normal work hours rate applies between 0600 to 2300 and the night rate applies between 2300 and 0600. Because we pay a much higher day time rate than the award, our reports show that 93% of crew earn more money annually than what is specified in the award. Most crew that fell in the 7% were those that only did one or 2 shifts with FCC that were overnight and never accepted any more FCC shifts. Should a crew member decide to take the majority of the shifts at night during the hours of 2300 and 0600, we pay the balance of any owing night rate money every 4 weeks so that income is always compliant with the award. This document outlines the amendment.
