It comes after a high-profile equal pay dispute between the 麻豆官网首页入口 and the presenter Samira Ahmed.
In 2020, Ahmed won the employment tribunal she had brought against the corporation. She had claimed she was underpaid by 拢700,000 for hosting audience feedback show Newswatch compared with Jeremy Vine's salary for Points of View.
The 麻豆官网首页入口 had argued the two performed "very different roles".
But the unanimous judgement said Ahmed's work was like that done by Vine, and the 麻豆官网首页入口 had failed to prove the pay gap wasn't because of sex discrimination.
it had spent more than 拢1 million on legal fees to fight equal pay and race discrimination cases brought by staff.
