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.

For various reasons too complicated to go into, I haven’t been engaged in paid work for 30 years (which works very well for our family).
household bills (mortgage, utilities, council tax, transport/fuel, holidays/travel, big purchases such as furniture/white goods, etc. ) are paid from the joint account.
I am responsible for food, pet food/insurance, household items and have just had a “pay rise” to my personal account of 15% to take account of increasing costs.

Private sector - 25% plus £1k bonus

Network Rail, no pay rise for 4 years.
Ps, here's a secret, we're not all on £59k a year or whatever wages the media is spouting, in fact I don't know anyone who's on that sort of money 🙄

I got 12% ish (5 figures) and told not to worry it wouldn’t affect my end of new remuneration. I put it all into my pension. Work in finance. On the other hand my sister is a nurse for the NHS and got about £200 🤷‍♀️

*end of year

I'm in public sector and my only pay rise is when nmw went up and then I'm hoping it will go up when national insurance goes up.

However it looks like Liz truss wants to stop that??

No actual pay rise

Yes I do. I get £69.70 a week. That's it

I got a extra £2.02 an hour pay rise this year.

Care Industry. Already so poorly paid. Our care home clients are driving costs down so low. Much lower than say 3 years ago. We pay our staff a little more than other places but we are barely breaking even.

Private sector, 3% this year.

Nothing for the previous two years. It's rubbish, but the company only just stayed afloat during Covid, so I understand the reasons behind it.

Private sector, nothing for 3 years. I'm looking elsewhere now

Yep, that's me too.

I have friends who work in community care who are earning slightly more an hour but are being hammered on fuel. One of my friends gets 35p a mile. When you are doing stop-start journeys it doesn't cover what you she is putting in.

I moved from local government to the private sector in 2006 with a reasonable pay rise, and another one on promotion. By the time I left a decade later I earned the same as I would have done if I'd stayed in my local government role with annual increments.

I the retrained and joined the NHS. No chance of earning here what I had after 10yrs in local government. And increase in NI means a reduction in take home so far this year, with a change in pension contributions due in Sept so I'm not expecting my £100 a month to go very far.

2%
social care private agency.

Zero raise despite company making record profits (energy sector).

I did raise it with manager saying whilst it's good news for the company to make higher profits from higher energy prices the downside is that it causes higher inflation and is effectively is a salary cut for me so how about at least a 5 % increase.

Her answer is the company can't afford it, when I said how because the company is making higher profits, her answer was "well it's different ".

As a result I will soon be leaving the company for another job as many others have already done so.

4.16% for me

11.1% - 28.5%

Now that I’ve done the maths, I think I need to have a chat with management.

Zero raise despite company making record profits (energy sector

Fuckers. Is it Shell? I'm trying to escape them...

Whatever the min wage pay rise was. £1000?

Yes but only because the company I work for always pays 'a teensy bit above NMW'.🙄

This is my situation
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.
Osbornes 3 year pay freeze was a bloody insult tbh.

Love my job but we had a pay cut at my authority at one point during the period above as well.

Manage a team of 12 and all that entails for about 50p an hour more than the staff I manage who are on 60p an hour over min wage - this is for a very technical/legal role - to be honest we would all be paid more working at the supermarket and are now seeing a massive drain of staff leaving to do just that.

I'm old with my eye on my pension so I'm not going anywhere but anyone under 40 is leaving the building. Cannot get replacement staff for love nor money so just old codgers like me left. Trying and failing to do the job of 3 people in the face of the public.

Yes - private sector 17%. Works out to about an extra £13k per year (before tax though) - roughly £550 extra per month after tax.
way way higher than other years (usually 3%) but they are desperate to hold on to good qualified experienced employees

1.5% at my university.

Charity sector, nothing for five years. 😕 I'm waiting for the right opportunity to raise this with the Chair.

Private sector - 2%

Generous pensions perhaps but I have to pay £500 a month into mine either that or try to find a private pension scheme
They may sound generous but we pay a lot into them

OP I got 5% rise first in many years which after the tax hike isnt much at all
