laws? wtf?
you're covered insurance wise by their insurance while you're in the building. wages / hourly rates really depends on where you are and what you agree upon. i've worked for an hourly rate, a weekly rate, an agreed day rate. all sorts.
i've never had a contract except verbal. that also depends on you and the studio / design house. as you're not a millionaire a contract effectively doubles as toilet paper in the end as if you can't afford to ream them with a bigger law firm you're kidding yourself, so make that a secondary thought.
also, i asked most places to pay the first week immediately at the end, by cheque or direct deposit as an act of good faith as 14 - 30 days is all very well and good after that but you need to know up front if they're good clients or ripp-off merchants.
also, speak to a book-keeper . accountant. anyone, about your tax requirements etc. an if you're in australia you'll need an abn and apply for gst.
