If you have Accepted a gig and you realize that you will be ill or sick for that gig, please contact me immediately to arrange for a sub (email or text message, please do not reach out to me via social media). I may ask you to reach out to potential subs yourself, but always contact me before anyone else. 

If I cannot find you a replacement gig (meaning in addition to any others you had Accepted at the time you notified me you were sick) before the end of the season, and if you have completed at least 4 TOR Caroling gigs by the end of the season, upon written request I will compensate you the value of the lost gig up to $130. You are eligible to for a second “sick pay” gig if you have completed 8 TOR Caroling gigs by the end of the season. 

Sick pay only applies in cases of illness and/or loss of voice, not if you need to miss a gig for other reasons. I may require you to provide a doctor's note to confirm your condition. 

DO NOT PERFORM WHEN YOU ARE ILL, even if you are not eligible for sick pay. If your voice is affected, even if you no longer feel sick, and even if you do not collect sick pay, for the purposes of this policy you are still considered sick. (The sick pay policy only applies in the Greater Los Angeles Metro Area)
