We asked the community of Technicians working in London Live Events for their views on how many hours a ‘Day Rate’ should cover before overtime is considered.

Over 300 people responded with a convincing consensus that 10 hours should be the new normal. This falls in line with many workplaces already, as well as movements in the Film and TV industry away from excessive hours.

Here’s a quick break down of some of the raw results:
