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.

[quote Fifthtimelucky]I'm a bit surprised to see the teachers here say they aren't expecting a pay increase this year.

I haven't read the whole thing, but this suggests that Government is proposing big increases for new teachers, but that pay for UPS teachers will go up by 5% over two years - 3% this year and 2% the following year. Nor as good as for NQTs, but better than 0%.

These are only recommendations, though, they are not guaranteed. Previously, as a pp said, we've been "given a payrise but not all teachers received it as the government gave nothing towards it and schools' budgets are stretched as they are. It's so hit-and-miss which is why I am expecting nothing.

If I do get something, it'll probably be about £22 a month after tax and NI, which I will of course be grateful for as I know at least it's something, and will put towards the £150+ a month energy rise I'm expecting.

My ds just got a 50p payrise so upto £8 an hr but hes only 16 and part time but pays well as well above NMW for a 16 year old

Also hope this is not insensitive, I got 13%, however I think it may have been to bring me up to peers salary as I did a sideways move to my current job jan 2021 and they did not raise my salary then and I just got the annual cost of living rise last march.

We have just been finally awarded last years at 1.75% so will get that back paid. Big whoop as on my salary it's less than £400 a year.

2% pay rise and 8% bonus...we get this every year.

I was offered a .09% payrise, but I'm taking a new job offer instead, which is a much bigger jump in pay.

Don't blame you! That's an insult!

Work in Public sector no payrise this year or next. Then again plenty of ppl would be happy about that cos we are just lazy gits who earn too much apparently and do fuck all work so don't deserve it.

1.75 for last year (finally being paid this month), nhs got 3% so not nothing as previously stated - work with nhs staff in a skilled role but not nhs

I got the NHS pay rise then it pushed me from 9.5% pension to 12.5% and even though I'm part time we are pensioned on a full time equivalent. I'm worse off than before pay rise each month.

Thanks, Dove. I may not have bothered jumping ship if I wasn't so concerned about rising costs of living, tbh. (I work with some great people, it's the higher ups that are dicks) But I have better career opportunities in the new organisation so it's a win all around.

I've not had a rise in a few years and know I'm under paid but love where I am so I had stayed but started to apply for new jobs in Jan fo a decent payrise. Out of the blue my boss gave me a big payrise (30%) last month, I'm now being paid in line with my job title and I'm happy not to have to leave.

DH got 4% but that's usual as his union in on it pushing for payrises.

@ZeusandClio I see comments from teachers quite often saying they don't get pay rises, I'm assuming this is in England. In Wales teachers received 3.75 for 2020 and 1.75 in 2021.

2.4 percent its insulting tbh like some people said it will get to the point people can't afford the petrol to work. My husband got a reasonable pay increase by 2 pound an hour plus bonus.

I do NHS payroll and saw this happen to quite a few people when the 3% was awarded. It's a bastard isn't it!!

Although do you know there is a proposal to calculate the pension tiers on actual salary rather then whole time equivalent from this October? Hopefully that will help. You could even opt out and rejoin when this happens.

P.s love the username 😂

I’m getting the standard local government 1.75%. Apparently, we’ve seen a real time pay cut of 20-25% since 2010, when our pay was cut anyway.

DH is getting 5% which we are very grateful for.

I get 1%. Private sector. And that’s performance-related pay. Some people get less.

Dh gets zero.

Me 1%, DH 13% plus bonus

The min wage is rising in April, so I think I’m up to 9.50 ph 😳😳

My union's asked for a £3k flat rate increase, which amounts to about 10% for me! Last year's was only agreed just before xmas and after lots of negotiation which got as far as strike ballots for some staff so whatever we end up getting I won't expect to see it for a long time yet. But I can't see it being that much, as that would require the Scottish Government to actually fund my sector properly and the SNP have shown themselves committed to running us into the ground.

Last year I got 15% but it was an exceptionally good year for the business. On a flat to decent year I'd expect 5-7%. Finance.

Standard 1.75% for local government…

For what I do it’s a piss take!

Looking at jobs in the private sector at the moment, the pay is double what I get now and as much as I love my team and my job which I’m very rapidly starting to hate an increase in salary is what I need!

I’m giving 4%, and a £1500 bonus to all employees. If we hit targets (which now isn’t certain due to another part of the business) I get around 20% shares.
