    "Many linked rate cards sit on union.bectu.org.uk; the 'Production Accounts Department TV Drama Ratecard' link returned HTTP 404 when fetched, so that card was not read.",

Evidence claims

  • [sourced_fact] Except for theatre rates set by collective agreements, the cards reflect recommended going rates set by freelance branches after consulting members. · locator: page intro source
  • [sourced_fact] Bectu recommends minimum terms and conditions for those not covered by an agreement. · locator: page intro source
  • [sourced_fact] The AD Branch asks members to negotiate contracts with no more than 30 minutes prep and 30 minutes wrap each working day and to reflect it in their rate. · locator: Assistant Directors section source
  • [inference] Rate cards are published per branch and vintage, so a budget line must cite the specific card and date rather than the index. · locator: collector reading source
  • [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
