Commercials

BECTU's recommended going rates of pay for freelance work on commercials, updated September 2010, are available to download from this page.

BECTU's commercials agreement with the Advertising Producers Association (APA) expired on 31 July 2002, therefore there are currently no agreed freelance rates for work on commercials.

Freelance BECTU members needing further advice should contact the London Production Division at Head Office. Please email commercials@bectu.org.uk quoting your name and membership number.
