Freedom of Information Request - RFI20110278



Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) received on 2 March
2011, seeking the following information:

Please provide details of the salary or pay scale of the lowest paid employees of the BBC, also indicating job
title or titles and basic responsibilities.

Please find below the current list of BBC pay grades and salary ranges effective from 1 August 2010.















The BBC has a single grade structure with grades 2 to 11: each job is evaluated and allocated to one of
these grades.


The Hours or Days refer to employment conditions that apply across the BBC. Under Hours
conditions, overtime is paid on an hourly basis once basic contracted hours have been worked, which is
160 hours per four week period (inclusive of breaks); whereas under Days conditions, additional payments
are only made if extra days are worked over 20 days per four week period.

Grade 7L is a 'career progression' grade, where an employee moves up a wide salary range as he or she
achieves defined levels of professional and technical expertise.

As a guide to the jobs typical to these grades, a secretary would be grade 3, a researcher grade 5, a
management accountant grade 8 and a programme editor grade 11. Examples of the type of roles at grade
2 would be tour guides, receptionists and runners.

Additionally there are 2 senior management grades SM2 and SM1 for positions such as divisional directors.
There are no set salary ranges for staff at this level.

I hope this response satisfies your request.
