This past summer, I was hired to play first clarinet in a pick up conducting seminar orchestra and was quoated a per service fee for principal clarinet. More most of the sessions, I was the only clarinetist, however a second was hired for the last two rehearsals and concert. When I received my paycheck, I discovered that I was only paid the principal fee when the second clarinetist was there. For all of the other sessions, I received the regular fee paid all other section musicians. My position is that as I played all of the first parts and clarinet solos for all of the sessions, I was "in fact" the principal clarinet for the orchestra and should be compensated as such irregardless if there was a second clarinetist or not. The college orchestra conductor and seminar leader disagrees. His position is that I deserve principal pay only for the sessions when the second clarinetist was present.
What do you think????
(btw--the projected enrollment for the conducting seminar was short of its goal, resulting in a deficit "bottom line" for the college)
