Pay rises

[flounfer]

Hopefully this won't come across as insensitive but I am wondering what pay rises if any people are expecting this year? On the one hand we are told it will make inflation worse but then bankers have had record bonuses & Ive seen some posts on here taking about double digit % pay rises. Mine is 2%, better than nothing obviously but not much help.

I changed jobs in December for a 20+% pay increase. Will be getting another 3% in July and feeling extremely grateful for that. They’re working on the performance related pay structure so may have opportunity for another increase through that.

I got 5% which was nice. I wasn’t really expecting anything as I’m on Mat leave. I got 10% last year.

I'm also really hoping my reply isn't insensitive.

I was given a recent pay rise which will work out 20% it's a huge relief for me with the cost of everything going up.

I haven't had a pay rise for many many years. My wage is now a fair reflection of the work I do as I have slowly increased responsibility in the last few years with no wage increase.

I'm debating about looking for another job but I'm happy with it for other reasons.

Zero increase for me

6.5%

Local government standard rise so 1.75%
Better than nothing which is what they are getting in my old job (civil service) but doesn't come close to the cost of living increase.

2% agreed for 20/21 but still hasn’t been paid in.

No idea what it will be for 21/22 but I suspect it will be similar.

Does it count as a pay rise if I haven’t actually had it?

6% organisation wide.

I haven't had a pay rise for 2 years, but work for a charity and completely understood their financial position. We are getting 5.5% this year which I'm incredibly grateful for, as I was expecting perhaps 1% or 2%. I am very well paid for what I do (considering it's a charity) and am aware that many people won't be so fortunate.

Higher education so not expecting much. 0.5% maybe?

DH is getting a 3% rise.

I'm self employed.

Nothing. I'm a teacher so not likely to get a pay rise any time soon.

3% for us

I predict an increase in working from home as people can’t afford the petrol to get to work anymore, despite us now being allowed into the office!

0% despite obtaining a post graduate professional qualification and covering an additional position. I will be looking for another job.

I got 3.6% but also a 12% bonus so it evens out.

The cost of living increases are still keeping me up at night though

Big law firm. Despite bumper profits I expect we minions (non lawyers) will get a similar increase to last year (1%)

3% pay rise and a 12% bonus

3% organisational wide, which I've calculated after the NI rise will leave me approx £50 a month better off, so I will take that quite happily in this climate.
I was also very fortunate to get a good bonus this year.

2.5%

Not sure what %..but work in a nursery so probably a little above whatever minimum wage is this year..hurrah!

The company I work for gave everyone a 5% payrise - they committed to match inflation this year which they don't normally do.

1.75 local Gvmnt rise, which of course, set against inflation is another drop in spending power.

Of course % rises always benefit those on higher income disproportionately, and widen the gaps between those on a high income and those barely managing..

Not heard yet, but generally is matched to local government rates, so we shall see..
