We have a flat rate system since we often don't make our minimum. I have heard that we pay equitably, at least I hope so. As a caller I have no expectation other than it shoukd be in the neighborhood of the band pay.

Over the years we have paid in a variety of ways including a "cut" of the door, a base rate plus percentage and flat rate. There are bands we don't book because of this and it's unfortunate but for now this is how we need to do it.

I've been booking performers for dances for many years and just recently encountered, for the first time, an expectation that the caller (booked separately) be paid the same amount as each band member. Is this a new thing? What's the practice in YOUR community?

Thanks,
