'I’m immensely proud that DNEG is the first of the big visual effects studios to offer paid overtime to our teams in the U.K.,' says Chris Burn, the company's general manager for its London studio.
DNEG explained that its previous overtime policy in the U.K. “mirrored the local industry norm of compensating employees for overtime with paid time off after completion of a project.”
Chris Burn, general manager for DNEG’s London studio, said: “I’m immensely proud that DNEG is the first of the big visual effects studios to offer paid overtime to our teams in the U.K. As a global leader in the VFX and animation industries and the U.K.’s largest employer in the sector with approximately 700 staff in our London office, DNEG is constantly evaluating ways to recognise the dedication and loyalty of our teams.
He added: “The last 18 months have been challenging for all of us, and I am delighted that we are now in a position to make this commitment to our U.K. employees as we move into a very busy period for the London studio. This is a fair decision for our employees and the right thing to do for the creative industries in the UK.
