BBC Resources: new agreement

Key details

  • Pay award: 2.8% basic increase

  • Employees covered (nos.): all (1,500)

  • Effective date: 1 April 2004

    Members of the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union (BECTU) have voted to accept a pay and conditions offer, tabled by BBC Resources, that increases the basic pay of the organisation's 1,500 employees by 2.8%, effective from 1 April 2004.
