The BBC seems to have gone earlier than usual with its latest pay offer, of 4.2% to be paid from August, which will be followed by a new ruse: "1% in progression later in the financial year". This looks like performance-related pay by another name.
We are told "Senior Leaders will not receive an automatic increase, and their pay is subject to a different process." Over the past year Group General Counsel Sarah Jones has had a 4% pay increase, to somewhere above £280k. Group Managing Director, Bob Shennan got 2%. Other executives got bigger rises, with new job titles.
By my poor maths, the deal puts £50m to £65m on the annual pay bill, in an organisation which has declared it needs to make £285m annual savings by 2027/28.
