A review into the pay structure at the BBC has found that there is no gender bias in relation to pay decisions at the corporation. The report, conducted by auditors PwC, was published last week and found a 6.8% gender pay gap among on-air staff.
The gender pay gap identified within the on-air staff was lower than the overall pay gap within the BBC which was 9.3% compared with the UK average which sat at 18%. The report comes on the back of a huge outcry and a lot of negative publicity for the BBC following the release of the corporation’s annual report last year.
