POTENTIAL HOLIDAY PARTY QUESTIONS AND PLANNED RESPONSES
HOW CAN AN EMPLOYEE THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA BUT DIDN'T RECEIVE AN
INVITATION, RECEIVE ONE?
Employees should send an e-mail to holidaylistny@mtvstaff.com. E-mails must be
received by no later than Monday, December 3 to be considered.
Each individual request will be researched and if the individual is found to qualify, they
will receive an invitation. Either way, the employee will receive an e-mail response within
48 hours. All inquiries must be sent by EMAIL. Phone inquiries will not be
accommodated!
WILL FREELANCE / TEMP / ANIMATION EMPLOYEES HIRED BETWEEN
OCTOBER 12 AND THE DATE OF THE PARTY, DECEMBER 6, BE INVITED?
We will not be able to accommodate or add anyone that has been hired after the
October 12 cut-off date and the date of the party.
WHAT ABOUT FREELANCE / TEMP / ANIMATION EMPLOYEES THAT WORKED
ALL DATES PRIOR TO THESE SELECTED PAY DATES?
In order to manage overall invite numbers, pay dates were selected based upon their
proximity to the party date, and within a manageable accounting timeframe, to determine
the invite list; unfortunately, that means if you were not paid on all of these selected
dates, you did not meet the criteria to receive an invitation to the party.
HOW CAN AN EMPLOYEE THAT DOESN'T MEET THE CRITERIA BE ADDED TO
THE LIST?
We can not accommodate any exceptions.
WHO ELSE DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVITATION??
All outside consultants, third party vendors; outside agency temp employees;
independent contractors; interns; freelance employees paid through an outside payroll
company; employees (staff or non-staff) that are on a leave of absence that extends
beyond December 6, 2007; employees on L-T-D.
