sudo room will have to form an opinion on this -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 08:00:00 -0700 From: Z Silver Zahn <natashazahn27(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Event working group proposal Written by Jacqi Galea with references to my previous event manager proposal! Proposed Compensation Model for Omni Events Team Overview: The Omni events team aims to book around 10k in event revenue monthly. Each event team member spends anywhere from 2-15 hours per event booking as a point person. In order to create a sustainable labor model, maintain the event revenue and decrease burnout amongst team members, we propose the point person for each event receive 10% of the total event revenue. This percentage is based on the reflection that if we continue to bring in $10,000 per month this is $120,000 per year, 10% of that amount is only 12k. If we were to hire an events manager at $30 per hour 10 hr/wk (minimal hours necessary) that would be about $14,400 per year. Proposal: 10% of all event monthly revenue goes into events team banking accounts. The budget will allow us to pay event stewards and improve venue facilities when needed. Each point person can choose to receive 10% of event revenue. This 10% is based on the following breakdown of tasks. Every point person completes a combination of the below tasks for every event along with maintenance tasks in between assigned events. Each event constitutes at least 1-2 hours of labor, usually more. The event payout will usually be $100 or more. Events larger than $1,500, payout will be model based on hours at $25-$30 an hour put into the event. - Events working group members (currently 3-4) would ideally be w-2 employees of omni? Or independent contractors? - Those who are being compensated are responsible for tracking events dates and payout amounts to be invoiced to the Events Finance Manager monthly. - A new member of the events team must complete 2-3 events in partnership with an experienced member of the events team before taking point and compensation. - Max amount of events team members being compensated? Should not matter as percentages are all relative to the number and amount of events coming in. Task Breakdown: - The following tasks are ongoing and split amongst event working group members through volunteer hours - The following tasks are split between working group members on an ongoing and event by event basis in order to maintain the functionality and presentability of the facilities at Omni. - The following tasks are done by all of the events working group members on an ongoing and event by event basis in order to maintain flow, communication, and organization of events. - The following tasks are carried out mainly by one member of the events team (currently silver) who bills their hours accordingly. Maintaining financial records, invoicing, and following up to ensure payments are received is integral to events and Omni as a whole.
