Employment contract in night venues/Lap Dance venues: the complete guide

Night venue employment contract - SD Events & Management

1. What it is and why it matters

To work as a Club Hostess or Lap Dancer in a night venue it is mandatory to sign a regular employment contract, guaranteeing rights, privacy and social security contributions.

You sign the contract directly with the venue. Before accepting, read the venue's documentation: type of relationship, duration, hours, pay, contributions and withdrawal rules depend on the specific opportunity and on the applicable law. Some venues apply the CCNL "Artistic staff engaged by public establishments – FIPE" (an Italian collective agreement), others use other forms of written agreement: we tell you in advance and you can read the template.

2. Types of contract

  • CCNL FIPE: one of the forms used by some venues, often fixed-term and part-time
  • Other written forms: protections and contributions depend on the form and on the applicable law

3. What the contract includes

  1. Personal details: of the worker and the venue
  2. Role: "Club Hostess" or "Lap Dancer"
