BBC 3.6% rise confirmed

The 3.6% BBC pay increase covering most staff has been confirmed.

This year's 3.6% pay increase has been clinched by an agreement struck with the BBC at the beginning of July.

Under the terms of the deal, the unions are committed to a timetable which "aspires" to introduce a new pay and grading system by August 2004.
