HEALTH & SAFTEY
- COVID-19 Protocols: Due to the nature of our business, it is important for NM Entertainment to prioritize the safety of our team members, as well as our audience of vulnerable adults. For performers, the stakes are high as we hire professionals who may be actively in a staged show. Therefore, the precautions of spreading to an entire cast and crew must be prioritized for these professionals. Click here for the latest update.
-
Confirmed Covid Cases: NM Entertainment MUST notify the Performer/Service Provider of a COVID outbreak in their scheduled community before they arrive. If not, we are subject to pay them for service, even if service is not provided. Therefore, NM Entertainment MUST require clients to disclose confirmed COVID case outbreaks within 24 hours of service. Advanced notification will allow us time to confirm the situation with the Performer/Service Provider and replace them if needed, as we are still obligated to pay our Performers/Service Providers for attendance. If a client fails to communicate a COVID outbreak in their community before their arrival:
-
The Performer/Service Provider may decline to perform services
-
We will still need to charge 50% of service
-
