Did you get a salary increase recently?

[Dodle]

Just trying to get an idea of what percentage of salary increase folks get on average?

I’ve had an increase of 8% which I am so bloody happy about but I don’t actually know what the average increase is…

Teacher. Another pay freeze. Think 3% has been mentioned for September but unconfirmed as yet.

I'm self employed. I have just given myself a 9% increase. I know I am fortunate enough to be able to do that.

I have been very fortunate how things have fallen, last year we had nothing, including no bonus which made things very difficult, especially as dh is self employed and didnt work during lockdowns, in the last 6 months, I have got -

Oct 21 - 3% cost of living/annual performance review rise
Feb 22 - after, a slow 3 year role revaluation team all got roughly 10%
Apr 22 - an unexpected personal 12% increase

Think the increases are part due to a larger number than normal in our team, and teams with similar skillsets, retiring early and they have really really struggled to recruit, they have now taken on inexperienced people hopefully with potential that need to be developed, and are desperate to hang on to us right now. My colleagues and I are being contacted through linked-in with job opportunities regularly in the last 6 months, much much more than ever before, and boss knows it.

Timing has been perfect as it lets us start to recoup 2 years of dh self employed losses, negates the cost of living rise and will help us get ds through uni, as we were not sure how we were going to afford it.

Really do feel for those who are having to even further tighten their belts. Consider looking at the job market as you might find more elsewhere where companies are struggling to find the right people. Even if that means jumping to private companies.

Yes, but so many people in our company were leaving they needed to do something. We had staff on £17.5K! Now on 19.5K (which is really closer to what they should have been on). I got 3K, but only because they were paying me practically min wage before.

Private sector, 5%

4%. Now £20 a month worse off.

2% private sector. With NI increase this equates to about £15 per month take home pay
I’d like to know if those getting inflationary pay rises are in the public or private sector.

6%, DH got a 19% rise which was lucky,

I'm only 28 hours a week but going back probs 33.5 from next sept when DC1 starts school which will obv increase my salary but hoping to get a further rise given cost of living crisis next feb (which is when ours are reviewed)

@PorkySisyphus Surely that was a promotion and change of banding, not a pay rise as such.

2%, public sector

Public sector zero this yr zero last yr. yr before 1.5% highest I've had in 7yrs! It's usually 0.5% or 1%. U only get rise if u earn under £19K and again it will be very low percentage.

Normally annual raise is around 2% but got a 15% raise this year to match what other companies pay. Was around £12k so was both pleased and annoyed as they’ve been underpaying me for a long time.

Nothing yet but announcement due shortly. Rumours are 'in line with inflation' but with it changing so rapidly I don't know what that actually means.

Sector heavily affected by China lockdowns so it's anyones guess.

ystaberia No promotion. Role is unchanged. Was just woefully underpaid originally, bagged an interview for a job that was paying what felt I should be getting and told my boss I didn't want to leave but based on salary I wouldn't really have a choice if I were successful.

I work for a PCN and we don't use the banding system but looking at the bands online it would work out as Band 4 to Band 5. Seems like the PCN have much more flexibility with salary than in secondary care for eg.

I am retired , DH retires in August, his pay rise was about 2% but we only benefit for another three pay checks.

10%

parking permits have gone from £75 a year to £465 in 2 years here though

I work for a big financial institution and got 3% because my salary was under the benchmark mid point and a 16% bonus. Delighted with both but the bonus was a bit funny as my manager was going on about how my great performance had secured me extra large bonus. Delighted until I figured out standard bonus was 15% , so all my extra efforts were worth 1% .

But I'm certainly not complaining, it's a great help with such high inflation.

School support staff. Have just received last year's pay rise, working out an extra £12 per month, something like 8p an hour more.

3.8%

I don't think our car allowance has changed in the 15 years I've been with this employer. Our mileage rate definitely hasn't gone up, it's been 45p a mile all that time.

@wtfisgoingonhere21 , your employer is unbelievable, they don't deserve to keep you.

Private sector big global American company- 0 pay raise or bonus. I'll be leaving as soon as Possible

Yes, am getting a 3% rise starting from this month. Its a very pleasant surprise, as my profession is usually neglected and very underpaid (Veterinary Nursing). My workplace is owned by a nationwide corporate, and they are giving all employees the same rise.

0% increase in wages because I've reached the cap for my grade.

NI has gone up, as have pension contributions so this year I'm earning £200 a month less than I was last year.

Fucking awesome!

@LakieLady

Thank
You for that.

I've been struggling with it all since we came bak from covid etc and was hoping it would get easier but the boss just gets more toxic with each week so having to keep myself calm and not lose it is increasingly hard.

It's like the elephant in the room right now between us which is terrible and going to work is an absolute chore and I resent it

The thought of doing this for another 25 years until retirement with a shit work base pension is tipping me over the edge.

Not blowing my own trumpet but I'm having to close my books to new contracts because I'm so busy and just can't keep up while the boss floats in and out two days a week is just unbearable right now.

I'm on the edge so I'm goi g to take this weekend (whilst also working second job as just had a big car bill) to draft yet another email to them regarding the situation

I did that in October.
They are aware of the importance of compressing for me and the financial implications of not working two jobs but also the mental implications as someone can't work seven days a week permanently and not suffer for it especially when you also have a house and family to run.

I'm just really hurt that after so many years of over and above from me it's dawned on me that they really don't care for the well being of anyone other than themselves and their own bubble.
