after September 15th, an additional retroactive payment will be provided to
include a fifteen percent (15%) C Crew premium for hours worked on Saturdays and
Sundays. We thank you for your patience and understanding during the time that
it took to resolve this matter. Often times, certain terms of a contract are
construed differently by each party trying to accomplish its evident aims. We
are glad that this disagreement is settled, and we can put it behind us and move
forward.
