Exclusive: BBC has been rushing to settle cases in attempt to give new boss, Tim Davie, a clean slate on issue
The BBC has given pay rises to more than 700 female employees who earned less than their male counterparts since the start of its equal pay scandal, showing how widespread the practice was at the national broadcaster.
As the corporation prepares to unveil its first annual report under its new director general, Tim Davie, on Tuesday, the BBC has been rushing to settle most of the remaining equal pay cases in an attempt to give the new boss a clean slate on an issue that infuriated staff and damaged the corporation’s reputation.
