Page 2 | Are you getting a pay rise this year?

PumpkinSparkleFairy · 08/09/2025 22:07

3.5% increase - I’m a lawyer on maternity leave.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 08/09/2025 22:07

Getting something in November apparently.

Won’t be equal to inflation though.

NoSoupForU · 08/09/2025 22:05

Yes, I got 13.5% this year.

amigafan2003 · 08/09/2025 22:05

2.5% baseline plus 2.2% performance related (consolidated) so 4.7% in total. I'm fine with that.

HurdyGurdy19 · 08/09/2025 22:03

I work for a local authority, so pay rise is "only" 3.2%. It will be backdated to April and is due to be paid in September's pay run.

socks1107 · 08/09/2025 22:02

NHS 3.6%. I think it should’ve been more but now having read this thread we did ok on paper.
Bills have risen more than what I got but it’s rubbish for everyone it seems

TSHconfusion · 08/09/2025 22:00

Our union has just rejected 5%, starting to realise how lucky we are to be offered that reading this post

Notsuchafattynow · 08/09/2025 21:55

None. All our pay rise money went on the increased employers NI contributions.

Where did you get 3.2% from? My pay rise is 1.4% and I'm not a public sector worker.

The 3.2% she won't even notice post was made by @Mutability

HuskyNew · 08/09/2025 21:44

I got 40%. After 2 years of zero. Private sector.

Barney16 · 08/09/2025 21:35

3.2% public sector but I appear to be doing my job and someone else's too so I'm not exactly happy in my work.

Gingernessy · 08/09/2025 20:29

No need for her to be arsy about the 3.2% she won't even notice paid for by struggling private sector workers

Just handed my resignation in after 3 years working for employers. No pay rise since 2022, I am earning barely more than minimum wage now.
I'm almost 63 and a single parent to 2 ASD adults so had to make a change.

What change have you made ? Did you find a new job ? Just curious, don't have to answer if you would not !

MotherOfRatios · 08/09/2025 20:48

2% more sectors need to be unionised tbh because wages in the uk are abysmal

Bringmeahigherlove · 08/09/2025 20:48

woolflower · 08/09/2025 19:36

Self employed, and I’ll be giving myself another pay cut.

The freelance/contractor market at the moment is dire, I’ll be lucky to earn 50% of what I earned 2 years ago.

Sorry to hear that. Just out of curiosity but don’t feel like you need to answer at all, why is that?

She wasn't being arsy to you though, she's a bit miffed she got a relatively low payrise along with lots of other people on here, its a helpful thread, no need to turn on people.

Gingernessy · 08/09/2025 20:29

CoralOP · 08/09/2025 20:22

No need to direct your anger towards the lady who is getting a small payrise, its literally nothing to do with her what rises your company do or do not pay.
Public sector is notoriously low paid compared to private and people stay for the good pensions and relatively safe jobs.
Everyone has positives and negatives to a job, we are all just discussing openly which is helpful for all, no need to be arsy with people.

PaterPower · 08/09/2025 20:27

3% private sector.

With inflation at the level it’s at, it’s effectively a pay cut, but I’m grateful as it could be a lot worse.

They laid quite a few people off recently (and had redundancies at Christmas too) so I certainly don’t feel secure atm and I’ve friends and ex-colleagues who’re finding it difficult to get other work.

JaceLancs · 08/09/2025 20:24

3.2% in line with local government - although I work in VCFSE sector we try and follow NJC guidelines

Cel77 · 08/09/2025 20:24

Evilwasp2 · 08/09/2025 16:34

Ours works out as around £55-60 a month extra after tax, I know it's better than nothing but bills, mortgage , transport etc. Will outweigh it..
Anyone else?

Nothing. I'm a supply teacher. I'm paid slightly more than 10 years ago. Shocking.

MadameMaxGoesler · 08/09/2025 20:23

Private sector DB pension will increase by September's RPI, so probably 4.8%.

Did you miss all the post from Private sector workers saying they're getting nothing.
We don't all work for multi-nationals.
60% of Brits work for SME's and many will get nothing
