Labor Code section 201.8 explains how events employees, like those working at concerts or sports games, should get paid. When an events employee is still working, they must be paid for their work by the next regular payday. But if the employee is fired or quits, different rules apply. These rules are found in Sections 201 and 202, which explain when final wages should be paid after someone leaves a job.
The law also gives options for how events employees can get their payments. Employers can send the payment by mail, deposit it directly into the employee’s bank account, or make it available at a location in the county where the employee was hired or worked. The payment is considered made on the date it is mailed, deposited, or made available, whichever happens first.
It’s also important to know that events employees are considered continuously employed until the job officially ends. This means that the end of an event, like a game or concert, does not mean the job is over. The employment continues without interruption unless the employer or the employee decides to end it. This law helps protect events employees, ensuring they get paid fairly and on time.
