Without exception, the salary for participation in the meeting is paid to the companion BEFORE the meeting takes place, sufficiently in advance so that the companion has time to prepare for the meeting, i.e. e.g. purchase of clothes, shoes, etc. If the nature of the meeting requires it, e.g. special clothes, social, sports, etc. are required, the clothes and shoes are paid for by the client and the companion receives funds along with the salary. For several regularly recurring meetings, e.g. Milano, Italy or Paris, France, the purchase of new clothes and shoes is mandatory, always at the meeting location. In these cases, the companion has time to make purchases after arriving at the meeting place. Payments for purchases are made with the agency's bank card, in a predetermined amount.
Transportation to and from the meeting is always charged to the agency, i.e. the client. The companion pays for transport only locally, e.g. from the place of residence to the place of departure/departure. In most cases, for meetings abroad, transport is provided by the clients' private planes, or by agency planes that the clients can rent advantageously. At the specified time, the companion is expected at the airport by a representative of the agency, who is responsible for handling the travel formalities. In the case of local meetings, the companion's transport is provided by a car with a personal driver. The companion does not have to carry out any activity to ensure the transport, except for checking the validity of the travel documents
