Explaining DC Site Services' wages and payroll

We've been receiving a lot of questions from our festival and event staff about wages and payroll - the majority of these questions can be answered with a little information about how we run payroll so please read through the below before getting in touch.

The DC Site Services' working week starts on a Sunday and finishes on a Saturday.

For the majority of our event staff we run payroll fortnightly.

Each member of staff needs to submit a timesheet each week, covering the 7 day period Sunday to Saturday, submitted to the office on the following Monday.

Once a fortnight payroll is run. At the beginning of the week all timesheets submitted by staff up to and including those submitted on the previous Monday are input into the payroll system. Payments for these timesheets are processed on the following Friday.

This means that for many festivals and events you will receive your pay for a single event within two separate payroll runs.

We realise this is a change on previous years but we have to be very strict with how we run payroll due to the governments new RTI system.

We hope this goes some way to explaining how and when you'll be paid for your work with DC Site Services.

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
