Have you had a pay rise this year?

[TravellingSpoon]

All this talk of inflation, public sector pay rises etc has me thinking.

I wonder how many of us in the private sector have had pay rises, and is so, how much?

I have a public sector job as well as a private sector one. In my private sector job (Social Care) we got 21p an hour pay rise.

Private sector: 3%

Yes my take home pay has gone up by about £60 per month (work 16 hours a week). I don't know what that is pre-tax as a percentage.

40p per hour pay rise, barely above minimum wage. Total rubbish.

Both private sector - DH got 3% - I've had nothing so far and probably won't get

I am private sector we've had a 6 percent pay rise plus a further £700 one off by the end of the year. They are losing lots of staff and desperate to keep them. Had 3 years with no rise people won't forget that.

Private sector 0.5% and told we were lucky to get that. Same for past few years too.

Local govt - 1.75% last year

Got 2.5% in my current role a couple of months ago which I’m about to leave and my new role is a 17% increase.

Public sector but my salary hasn't really moved since 2009, bar the incremental increases.
In real terms it's a pay cut, a huge one. My dp has had a 60k pay rise in that time

2%

10%. Up from £10ph 🎉

Yes. I got 8% in last Sept (performance) and this year I’m getting 4.5% from Sept (cost of living).

1.7%, so I left and got 25% more to move. There's a lot of movement in my industry for this reason.

Private sector: 7% rise at the start of the year + £2k rise in June as the boss felt sorry for us all with the cost of living increases.

I got a 20% raise, but only due to moving jobs/companies

Private 3.6%, although most of that was wiped out by NI increase

Public sector job - looks like it'll be 4% on my salary.
Private sector job - self employed - minimum wage.

I think it's hard to compare. Because when the economy does well, a lot of private sector staff get decent pay rises. This rarely happens in the public sector, even when things are going well.

in the time I've been working in the NHS (15 years), DP has had payrises to more than double his salary with no increase in responsibility, just experience. That hasn't happened in the NHS - that's the problem - whether the economy is good or bad, doesn't make any difference to public sector pay. NHS pay was frozen for 2 years in 2011, then had a 1% pay cap until 2018.

If we compare year on year since 2011, I don't think that the public sector has kept up with the private sector.

7% + a hike in my overtime rate.

Locsl gov - 2010 - 2012 - 0%
2013 - 1%
2014 and 2015 - 2.2%
2016 - 1%
2017 - 1%
2018 - 2%
2019 - 2%
2020 - 2.75%
2021 - 1.75%

Real terms cut of 30% since 2010 when compared against cost of living/RPI. I have been promoted during that time which has disguised the issue somewhat personally.
Osbornes 3 year pay freeze was a bloody insult tbh. And they'd ne trying it on again now with payfreezes if they could feasibly get away with it to make us suffer to cover the cost of covid fraud and bungs to their mates.

Public sector kind of (subsidiary of the gov (ish)). 7% increase. We have very good unions where we got (I wanna say) CPI +2%.

Public sector, 1%. So don't believe everything you read. And that's 1% each year for the last 4 years, before that there was a freeze for two years.

Yes, a considerable increase - about 8%- because I changed roles (a sideways move).

Then in August my company are applying 3% across the board plus £500 bonus which is the equivalent of another 0.6% for me but for most staff this is another 1.5% (non consolidated)

I work in an industry which is rebuilding itself after being decimated by the pandemic. We are getting 4.5% this year, after a two year pay freeze. Frankly, after the last 2.5 years I’m glad to still have a job.

Yes, but only because I finally persuaded senior management I was capable and ready for promotion. Civil service so fixed pay scales (and I'd been top of the last one for about 5 years).
