A proposal will be presented to the council's cabinet on 17 December to seek formal approval.
Birmingham City Council is due to settle thousands of equal pay claims more than a year after it effectively announced bankruptcy.
A proposal will be presented to the council's cabinet on 17 December to seek formal approval, the authority said. The dispute relates to claims staff in female-dominated roles, such as teaching assistants, have historically been underpaid in relation to those in male dominated areas of the council, such as waste collection.
Councillor John Cotton, leader of the city council, said the agreement marked the end of "an intense period of dialogue" between the authority and its unions."I would like to put on record my thanks to GMB and UNISON for the constructive way in which they have approached these negotiations."The agreement was described as "historic" for women at the council by Rhea Wolfson, the GMB union's head of industrials relations.
