But it admits that thousands are unable to work, including 400 new engineers it's been unable to train but kept on.
However, it's today said no BT Group employee will lose their job as a direct result of coronavirus over the next three months.Over this period salaries will be paid in full even where staff are unable to work. The Group adds that it won't furlough workers or use the government's jobs retention scheme to pay wages.In addition, all non-managerial workers across the brands in the UK will get a 1.5 per cent pay rise from July 1.Managers won't get a pay rise in the 2020/21 financial year but BT says it plans to dish out bonuses to them for the last financial year as normal.
Staff who are eligible will find out more about this in June, but bonuses are typically worth a proportion of the salary for people such as call centre managers and regional engineer managers.The Sun has asked BT how many staff are currently unable to work, how many have been redeployed, and whether staff got a pay rise for the last financial year.
That’s because majority of there workers are in offshore call centres and treated like slaves for peanuts 🤔
A lot of their staff would be happy to be furloughed on 80% to protect their families but BT are refusing to allow them to classing themselves as essential workers. Ok I agree some are but 100's or 1000's of bt/ee sale's staff are not essential BT should be ashamed of themselves
It’s a pity they don’t treat their customers as well
Drum roll for price hikes.......
well done BT
