The Time Project

The Time Project

The Time Project is an industry-wide method of recording working hours for everyone working off-screen in British TV. It is funded by the Screen Industries Growth Network (SIGN) at the University of York and is supported by Bectu.

The data collected will enable researchers to build an accurate picture of the way freelancers work in television, establishing patterns of behaviour and patterns of overwork which have major impacts on workers’ health and wellbeing.

This information can be used by workers, but also by production companies and Broadcasters, as a collaborative tool to notify them of good and bad practice and allow them to affect targeted and effective solutions and bring about positive change to our industry.
