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.

We have been using DC at a number of our events for the past few years and the service they provide is flawless. They are one of the few contractors in the whole events industry that we are confident can complete the service to exactly how we asked whilst keeping costs very competitive. Waste management is a difficult job, DC make it look easy. DC Site Services are highly recommended, a 5 star contractor.
