To ask if you've had a payrise yet?

[SwanBuster]

Simply put - is your company proactively raising salaries/wages, or have you got zero?

For the voting option:

YABU - no payrise
YANBU - yes, got a pay rise.

I'll kick it off.

Zero, work in tech. A large nominal salary, but no pay rise is a pay cut with inflation as it is.

I got a 5% rise, Husband got 3.75%. Both happy with those tbh

5% from July, I understood this may be reviewed again from Jan 23 depending on inflation.

We've had 2% annually for about the last 14 years, other than 2 years when we got nothing.

2.25%, no potential for bonuses, v large multinational conglomerate. Doing reasonably well and are struggling to recruit and retain, some leaving for better pay.

3% was agreed back in April time. I also got a personal pay rise when I asked as I was doing someone else’s job (still am). Though I earn crap money, so 3% of nothing, is nothing.

I work in the public sector and definitely do not get a pay rise every year 🙃.

3% from end of August.

2% increment linked to performance, further one-off 2% pay rise due to inflation.

Nothing out of cycle and I wouldn’t expect it. I got 2% in July but that was normal annual pay increase cycle time and wasn’t anything particularly special due to current conditions.

Yes, 27% but it was my first raise since 2016 and I have taken on significantly more responsibility over the years.

Work for a big company as a pharmacist. Finally got a pay rise this month of 7.28%. Still absolutely shocking annual wages for what we do but happy with something!

Yes, but I run my own business so awarded myself a small increase. I would normally make it slightly more but am aware that clients may be struggling.

I received a 7% increase this year, but that was due to the fact that I have started my training for a new qualification so I've gone from my current job role to now being "trainee higher-level job", I don't think my increase would have been so large without this change in role and it's still essentially a wage-cut when factoring in the rising cost of living. I'm happy with it though - I can mange.

Yes - around 4.5% this year.

As a company we pay well anyway and have good conditions so people are quite pleased.

We’re doing a 5% raise in October. Everyone just got a £1k net payment added to their August salary, which was a nice surprise.

We do probably need to look at affordability in the longer term though, as there are so many new hire requests. I’d prefer to drop some new roles to make the budget more comfortable to achieve.

I've got two jobs. I was surprised to get 5.5% as we had three lots of redundancies and income hasn't reached pre-lockdown levels (2p of that is the increase in minimum wage). My other job is public sector - although, it's was stated on news that some sectors will get a payrise, nothing has been mentioned for the dogs bodies and we're not mentioned by the union. DH also public sector, news announced his sector would get 3%, but he's been given a three year pay freeze instead.

No, that’s full time. Between 15-20h a week in person (what I’m contracted for) and a minimum of 25 hours a week individual work at home (always unpaid, if you don’t do this you’ll be sacked off within the month). I’m in the performing arts, entry level. It’s the reality in our industry sadly. I also freelance on the side so have got other projects going on but it’s not unusual to go 3-4 months with nothing but the basic amount.

I'm a civil servant, so nothing so far, but I only started this job a few months ago and gained a small increase from my last job in the private sector. DH works for a share company, he got 10% as he was in the lowest pay bracket, so that's been good.

I pushed my boss quite hard as the job market is smoking hot where I live (not in the UK). I got 9.5% and another review in 6 months, so happy with that. My husband got 3% and my son's PT min wage job went up 5%.

Our pay talks start in October. I'm in a Union so it will be down to them.

Wow!

Game industry. High earner. Last march got 5% payrise.

1‰ wage rise and no bonuses. Work in Insurance Industry

I got 3% for our annual review.

(Publishing industry)

Wow they love to moan at your work don't they. How ungrateful!

Only people with a valid reason to be annoyed are maybe those on UC and those just above the cut off. But I'm not sure what you'd do re: those on UC. Maybe they could have given a smaller sum to those on say £35-50K.
