Event Staffing

Gulf-Coast-ready, BJCC-TESTED event staffing.

Alabama Employment Compliance

Alabama follows the federal $7.25/hr minimum wage with no state increase. The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board administers the Responsible Vendor Program (RVP), which provides training and certification for alcohol service staff. RVP certification is required for servers at licensed establishments and provides legal protection in the event of an alcohol-related incident. The Alabama ABC issues temporary event licenses for special events, and all serving staff at those events require current RVP documentation.

From Megan

Founder's notes on staffing Alabama.

Megan Hayward

Alabama operates on two calendars: the SEC football calendar and everything else. When Alabama or Auburn is at home, the entire staffing ecosystem in those cities reorients. The BJCC in Birmingham is underrated — 420,000 square feet of convention space running a national-caliber event schedule year-round. Huntsville is one of the most surprising event markets in the country — the NASA and defense contractor presence generates sophisticated corporate events that require a very different crew profile than Hangout Fest on the Gulf Coast. Our Alabama roster spans both. The beach crew for Hangout is different from the BJCC convention crew, and the Huntsville aerospace industry event staff is different from both. We maintain all three, and one contract covers them all.
