DirectorsUKMemberPaySurvey
Directors UK wants to work across every genre to increase directors’ pay for all.
But to do this we need to build an accurate picture of what directors are currently being paid so we can effectively campaign for pay that truly reflects the director’s responsibility and seniority.
Our Pay campaign can only be as strong as the survey response: we need every Directors UK member to complete the survey. Please encourage all your fellow directors to complete the survey so we can better understand your genre and start campaigning for you.
Further information about our Pay Campaign.
In response to concerns about static or falling rates of pay for directors, 18 months ago multi-camera and entertainment directors conducted a pay survey among our group. The results were shocking and confirmed just how bad the situation had become. Being armed with accurate information on pay helped us set an new minimum daily rate and has been invaluable mounting a campaign for better pay.
Directors UK want to extend this survey among the entire membership. Having accurate up-to-date pay information from over 5000 directors will help us continue to campaign for better pay for all. It also gives us the information we need to demonstrate just how far directors pay has fallen behind when we enter negotiations with broadcasters and producers .
I would ask all members if you could take a few moments to complete this new on-line survey to help us help you get a better deal on pay.
