BT said today it would pay 59,000 frontline workers a £1,500 special bonus to recognise their efforts to keep customers and the country connected during the pandemic. 

The broadband and mobile provider said there was no change in its full-year financial outlook as a result of the bonus, which will comprise an immediate £1,000 cash payment and £500 in shares after three years. 

BT has frozen pay across the company and is in unresolved discussions with trade unions over its transformation and modernisation plans.
