What should the New York City merchandise crew brief cover at Barclays Center, Downtown Brooklyn?

For a Barclays Center merchandise call, identify the employing agency and confirm that its New York workers' compensation coverage extends to every seller. WCL Article 2 generally requires employee coverage, which is one reason product and cash handlers should not be treated as uninsured 1099 day labor.

What goes on the New York City call sheet?

Pair that employment record with the stand map, product count, register assignment, replenishment chain, and signed closeout. Barclays operates as a Brooklyn node above Atlantic Terminal, so give the crew a borough-specific report point and access instructions instead of routing a Manhattan pool across town. Day-of additions need the same coverage and inventory controls as the original roster.
