<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For those full-time university staff
techs:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been getting regularly ripped off by the
Performing Arts Center hall. As typical I am responsible for tuning and
maintaining pianos for UNIVERSITY business, (i.e. music department
staff/faculty, orchestras, etc). However, when non-university outside
groups come in such as visiting orchestras, high school competitions, pop
bands, etc, I should be getting paid for my services. These groups are
charged for renting the hall, use of the piano, <U>AND</U> a charge
specifically for the tuning. Sometimes I even have to come in on
weekends or late evenings for these events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>During the last few years there has been
virtually a complete turn-over of the music department personnel. Only a
small handful of people are still here that were present when I arrived
8.5 years ago, including administration. For all practical purposes it
is a completely different school. Over time my getting paid for outside
groups has been slipping through the cracks. I have been protesting
this for some time and the current administration hasn't a clue how
to fix this. The chair says "talk to the department accountant".
The department accountant says "talk to the performing arts hall
administrator". The PFA says "I don't know how to fix this, go talk to
the chair". No one wants to take responsibility for the paperwork to pay
me. I made the suggestion that I check with some other university techs
to see what procedures are used to pay the tech for these kinds of
events. They agreed that would be helpful. Then they would have
something to copy and can agree that it was done correctly.
Whatever.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So... for those university techs in similar
arrangements, please tell me the typical procedure for how you get
paid for outside events. At the moment the hall has been forwarding an
annual. (or simi-annual), lump sum for my services to the music department
which goes into the piano maintenance account. Then it sits there while
I protest and not get paid. Last year I discovered someone stole
about $3,000 of it to repair a bassoon!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your help,</FONT></DIV>
