Thank you guys for bringing up the money issue that need to be solve and understand clearly from the start of Hilton contract.
I not sure did I attached the past negotiation from the previous musicians for you guys, but since you asked, I think it would be good to fully go into details of how the Hilton contract was confirmed in the first place.
HILTON CONTRACT:
The previous band that was playing side by side with us in Hilton get 700 baht per musician, per day.
When we enter the contract, the Rockin' Angels musicians requested more, and I negotiated with Hilton. However, Hilton wanted our band to be special and every musicians should sing and do backup vocal, beside playing new songs every week. But we cannot do practice in Hilton, and since the FB manager came to our cafe to hear our practices before, he suggested that we do the same like before he hire us.
Our first contract with Hilton was 800 baht, 100 baht more than the other band.
By the 3rd contract renewal, Hilton noticed we have done our practices and improvement. That's where I requested free meals and drinks in the Sail Restaurant to be included in our new contract.
ROCKIN' ANGELS SUPPORT:
However, Hilton could not increase the budget on our fees, because they have their standard budget for the band. In order to make our musicians happy, we had a discussion with the musicians and I'll give them the extra 200 baht from my salary to meet their price of 1000 baht per nite. To appreciate the extra 200 baht, the musicians has agreed to support the cafe on the after Hilton practices and other days performance in Rockin' Angels Blues Cafe.
During the weekend, when we are busy in cafe, Tik will give a little extra bonus to the musicians.
On our last month salary, we noticed Hilton has included a tax deduction on our salary. We felt after the tax deduction, you guys will be taking less than 1000 baht and in order not to upset your payment, Rockin' Angels is adsorbing the tax for you.
With the above mentioned, please go calculate how many times has Rockin' Angels cover the cost to make the musicians happy?
Let's get back to your yesterday request of some mor extra payment. Base on our regular arrangement with pervious musicians, during the low season the musicians normally don't get extra from the cafe. But since you requested, we shall look into it as fair as possible for everyone.
We decided that we can give you the extra 100 baht from Tuesday to Friday if we have 5 tables during performing time.
Any further question?
