WELCOME to WorkLine UK. We offer free employment advice on this website and through a confidential email.  Please note we are unable to offer advice on careers or job hunting (see below).

If you are working in the UK Film and TV industries as: 

• an employee (on a permanent or short-term contract),
• a worker, 
• self-employed,
• or you may not know your employment status
• or you are an Employer (there is a separate section for Employers, above)

- We are not funded to offer Careers, Recruitment or Training advice but we recommend you look at the Skillset Careers site for starters - http://www.skillset.org/careers/

From 1st April 2009 Workline will also offer a new Human Resources Consultancy service for small businesses - see the separate Employers section above.

Workline has been developed with 2 years funding by the UK Film Council and Skillset.  However, this ends on 31.3.09.  To ensure that Workline's valuable service continues we need to find NEW sources of funding.  If your organisation may be able to help, or you are aware of an organisation that could help Workline, please e-mail us to discuss how supporting Workline can benefit your organisation.

Have a look at our website - by using the Search facility, the topic bars or the FAQ's - and if you can't find what you need to know then e-mail us.

We will always aim to respond to your query within 48 hours, Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays).

Please note that the advice given on this website and by our Advisors is guidance only and cannot be taken as an authoritative interpretation of the law, or as specific advice for individual cases (please refer to the Terms and Conditions tab at the top for more details).
