personal assistant to Tom Sachs

Tom Sachs’ personal assistants complain about working conditions

Tom Sachs' personal assistants have leveled some pretty serious allegations against him for poor working conditions, low pay, and abuse. More than a dozen former employees have spoken to reporters on the condition that their names not be used because they signed non-disclosure agreements. 

This story comes on the heels of the New York Times and other high-profile media outlets that reported a job description from the art world that paid substandard wages. Many people had speculated it was Sachs, but it wasn't confirmed until now. 

Are all celebrity assistant jobs like this?

Unfortunately, too many celebrities pay low wages, make assistants work long hours, and abuse their staff. This is certainly not the first time that a celebrity's assistant has complained about poor working conditions. Over the past 10 years, several assistants to high-profile stars have come forward with complaints about unpaid overtime and substandard pay. 

What we recommend as a domestic staffing agency is the following:

  • Make sure that you have an employment contract
  • Don't work off the clock
  • Keep track of your hours
  • Don't be paid "under the table"

The biggest problem is that it's easier said than done. Some celebrities have willing assistants lined up around the block just to get the experience of being a celebrity PA, so the entertainment industry in general is rife with problems.
