Hi All,
Different Question but would be grateful for some advice from Legal experts.......
I am organising a very low budget production and need dancers.
It is not a charity but the dancers are happy work for free (with token travel expenses covered) as it is a beneficial project.
I have however been told that to protect myself from any issues that may arise in future, it is advisable to pay minimum wage.
This will be difficult to do as most of the budget is actually going towards filming & producing the material.
Anyway I'm currently trying to work out what the costs will amount to if wages had to be paid and I would like advice on
1) whether rehearsal time has to be included in working out the wage cost?
2) If there are other agreements that could be reached with the dancers to ensure that I dont run into trouble with the law?
Many thanks
AB
