The setting of a performer status is automated within the Compass system. No manual updates are allowed.
Each status means something different, the statuses you will see are:
- New - Newly created performer not yet added to a GDS or PDS contract
- Current - Performer currently working on a GDS / PDS Contract
- Retired - Performer has taken retirement and is no longer active on any contracts. "Retired" performers can be added to a contract later provided there's a gap of at least 24 hours. The status will then automatically change to "Current GDS / PDS"
- Deceased - Performer has died
- Ceased - Performer is not active on any GDS or PDS Contracts. This won't prevent the performer being added to a contract, when this happens the status will change to "Current "
If a performer has only worked on a trust contract their status will not be updated to "Current " or "Ceased " it'll remain as "New Performer".
Please note that Performer status?s are only refreshed once a day so the changes are not immediate.
