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…

It would be more if you worked more hours?

Nope, self employed piano teacher. Fees have been the same for at least 7years. Can't put up much higher as local teachers all charge the same.

Mine was very same took all year to agree to a 1.75 % increase. Which was the propose % by our company in the first place.
Going to ask a potentially silly question here but receiving it's all in one go means we end up paying more in national insurance contributions don't we?
I think I am going to highlight this to the unions as it happened every year I have been with the company and every year the same result they have never increased the %.

That's a mileage allowance not car allowance

Nope. Nothing for me or DP, both private sector.
hit with NI increases too. It’s great fun.

Part of pay rises is that your daily costs rise too.
If the bus driver, barista, supermarket worker, creche staff and restaurant staff all get rises then your actual value of your payrise is absorbed.

I got 20% ... which I know is ridiculous but salaries seem to be going abit nuts in my sector (legal services)

Yes. 1.5% so a huge £16.95 a month.

beside myself wondering what to do with it all

Teacher in 3rd sector and I haven’t had a pay increase since 2018 and then it was 1.5%

desperately trying to move elsewhere!

You should do it regardless imho.

Far from the other teachers salivating at the thought of more business if people leave you, they are probably praying someone will blink first so they can raise them too.

I've never had anything like an 8% rise! Under 2% is normal, usually under 1% (public sector but not healthcare).

Haven't heard yet whether there will be a pay rise this year.

Last year was 1.5% but was 4% this year, not for profit org. Wasnt enough to keep me though and took a small pay cut (equates to 1% pay increase instead of 4%) to go elsewhere

Public sector -front line children's social work - top of pay scale and over 20 years experience and no desire to move into management. Our recent increase was something like 1.5%- since the current government has been in power we have seen around a 20% cut in real pay and supporting services absolutely wiped out. As for the unpaid overtime.....! Without it things would be unsustainable. I work in one of the few 'outstanding' LAs and recruitment and retention is dire, as it is nationally.

Is that a parking permit to enable you to park in your work car park or is it the cost of parking locally to work?

@wtfisgoingonhere21 could you increase your hours in your better paid side job and reduce your hours in your full time job?

I’m jealous. We only get 14p a mile…..and that’s only if you get a car allowance.
if you don’t get a car allowance but use your own car, you don’t get paid any mileage 😤

3.5% which is more than I was expecting

15%, private sector.

At Christmas I got 5% in my current role.

I just got a new job which is a £15,000 pay rise.

None since I started my job in April 2020. But I work in the voluntary sector. Love my job & can't image doing anything else. Did I read 11% somewhere though?! 😉

Private sector. Originally 4%, but then I was offered another job that would get me a 25% increase so current employer offered 22% raise to get me to stay. I decided the 3% wasn’t worth the stress of starting a new role so am staying (I wasn’t strictly looking for a new role anyway, recruiter contacted me and I mostly only interviewed due to the salary increase).

I'm an employer. Staff salaries have gone up by 5% and we're obviously also having to cover the increase in pensions and NI too, as well as our increased running costs (I'm dreading our electric bill - there's no price cap on commercial!).

I became a director of the company in 2015 and haven't had a pay rise since.

Private sector. 0.6% last year. First increase in well over a decade, setting aside a massive reduction in the move from Defined Benefit to Defined Contribution pension. In an industry where moving work offshore is a fact of life, so moving jobs has limited potential for salary increases.
