CBC would not disclose how much money was paid out to the 1,194 eligible employees for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
OTTAWA — The board of directors for CBC and Radio-Canada has approved bonuses for some staff for work they did in the most recent fiscal year, despite members of Parliament saying it would be inappropriate to do so after hundreds of jobs were eliminated.
The public broadcaster has said the money is performance pay and counts toward some employees' total compensation, as stipulated by contracts that promise payouts when certain company goals are met. As a result, the board said it would launch a review of its compensation regime, including performance pay, for future years.
CBC said in December it was set to cut 600 jobs, eliminate 200 vacancies and cut $40 million in production costs to deal with a projected $125-million shortfall at that time. He said Tait hasn't yet "received performance pay for the fiscal year 2022-23 and has no idea of the amount. It is the same situation for 2023-24."
