Male staff paid 10 per cent more salary than women counterpart in BBC | Male staff at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is paid an average of 10 percent more salary than the women
staff, statistics have revealed. According to the statistics released under the
Freedom of Information Act, men held twice the number of senior posts than women
in the organization and earned an average 17,000 pounds more. The statistics revealed
that the organization has 82 men in the top management grade with an average salary
of 165,000 pounds, as compared with 42 women, who earned 148,000 pounds, The Telegraph
reported. The salary difference was, however, not apparent in lower grades, with
both genders being paid an average of 99,000 pounds, but there were 223 males
as compared to 111 women in the organisation. Women across all levels in the organization
were paid an average salary of 5,000 pounds less than men and earned 37,100 pounds
a year as compared to 41,800 pounds earned by men. The figures could re-ignite
the controversy over BBC's treatment of female staff after it was accused of sidelining
older women presenters.
