Big Orange Productions delaying payments Pawtucket Rhode Island
All right so I write this report on an agency that I had wanted to continue to work with, but now will probably never work for again. Big Orange Productions, from what I can see, is a really good business or so I thought. Now when I say that I meant just out of purely having so many availabe events in cities. Out of all the agencies I have worked for so far, they seem to have events being staffed every day or every other day. Now one would think this would equate to tons of money coming in, if one were to do nearly every event or be booked on every single event. Not true. One huge problem that seems to set this agency back is their payroll and I mean it is REALLY and I mean REALLY slow. From when I did an event for them in May 28, I had been tracking how long it had taken for them to cut me a check. Generally, in the events and promotions industry, many agencies say that the "industry standard" and by the way, I have no idea where they get that standard from, is 30 days. This is not the first time I have been paid nor waited for a check for this long; however, there are definitely better businesses, agencies, out there that have paid me faster. Their contract states that they PROCESS the checks 30 days AFTER the event. It does not go on to say business or including weekends. If it were counting weekends, I should have been paid last Wednesday, as the 30th day falls on a Saturday. In fact, it would still be giving them an extra day to process the check and two days for it to be mailed. If 30 days are only business, I should be paid by this Friday, but the contract DOES NOT state that.
With not being paid, it is not really a big deal for me. I mean I would love my $72 and will try my best to get it; however, I was grateful that I worked a local event for them. I only spent $0.80 in gas getting there and 4 hours of labor. The only thing I wish to see is that this agency changes its ways to processing checks. I am sure if the agency kept its staffing opportunities, which are WAY ABOVE par in just how many opportunities they give per week and pay faster, they could be one of the best agencies out there. In terms of payment, I am highly disappointed. If I actually went out of my way to travel, which they also sometimes pay for, depending on the distance and had done a longer event; I probably would have been pissed. This is just a forewarning for people working for this agency.
All in all, I hope this post would actually help this agency to streamline it's paying process and even more so help caution people that do work. This agency, just from this one time, really does take all 30 days to process a check as little as $72. That is kind of worrisome. I just thought I would take time out to write about them.
