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.

Yes, 5% plus bonus.
Unless something drastic happens before 31st December, there will be another bonus plus profit sharing then, too.

5% was announced but not accompanied by any additional funding, so who knows. I suspect strikes will soon be announced.

No pay rise for me, I earn £9.50 an hour and have done for the last two years.

Two pay rises this year, total of £1 more per hour.

We do comp reviews (rises etc.) at the end of the calendar year - so, December.
However, we did give a discretionary bonus 3-5% in July (on top of regular, quant. bonus we pay out twice a year).

I hope you're looking for a new job & leave them in the lurch! Bastards.

Private sector. Have a 2% pay rise with an additional 3% in October to total 5%. It's not enough but it's something.

Public sector too - we've been offered just over 2%, last year was a freeze with nothing, so in real terms a significant relative cut. And it turns out our pensions are not as good as they used to be - recently checked out a uni job which was a better salary and better pension.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nope. Not had a pay rise since 2013. But I have a job that's very unusual & ever changing. I work fewer hours now for the same money, so an increase in the 'hourly rate' if it was calculated that way, which it's not. But it doesn't help to pay bills. I need to find some flexible WFH for those 'spare' hours.

if only I got paid to 'MN'

Australia, insurance company whichbhas been slammed by natural disasters and massive increase in claims costs due to the above, plus the Covid lockdown and wars. But restructure to get our division out of the red with job losses.

Got a payrise in July due to matching against minimum wage which was pretty small, and due to get a performance based payrise and bonus which they haven't announced the value of but we know it will be reduced compared to last year.

id just move jobs to somewhere that pays better tbh

I work in tech too and people leave all the time for better offers, bettter benefits, more money and my company is trying to get decent people to stay by matching it or giving them more! There's so many jobs right now so why stay somewhere shit

5% in March plus usual bonus. We're expecting an announcement soon on a further rise.

I work for a large global accountancy firm and everyone got 4% in April plus a bonus for the junior staff. I got nothing as I only worked for them since Han but I expected that. They've said given the current circumstances everyone will get the higher if 3.6% or £750 in October 2022 taking this years pay increase to 8.%. Next salary review will be in April 23.

I'm so glad I got made redundant last year. This is an awesome employer.

Jan not Han

Waiting for the Soulbury agreement to find out what we’ll be getting. The unions are pretty spineless though so we’ll probably get 1.x% as usual. Hopefully the NJC extra day’s leave will also apply to us too though. That’d be nice…

I got 6.5% in April and have recently got a promotion with a roughly 25% rise (waiting for exact figure)

Nope, so I've given myself one. I happen to know that:

1. The company is financially screwed and the leadership are doing way too little to prevent shutdown in 3-6 month's time.
2. There are no advancement prospects for me at this employer if, by some miracle they fix their problems. That has been made abundantly clear.

So I spend 20-60 minutes a day on my side hustles during company time, rounding up my earnings within working hours a decent amount.

I got about 3% (Work in bands so it was all voted on by the unions ect who are still pushing for more)
DP got 11%

Rail industry no payrise for 3 years

I got 6% in March - work for a small law firm. This was more to match increased performance than for cost of living though.

Yes, 5% pay rise starting from September. I've also taken on additional responsibilities and I'm getting a little bit more each month anyway.

3 years no payrise :(

Just got 3%. Which the union are saying is a 10% pay cut and balloting on strike action. I work in a university.

I work in the public sector and also don't get a payrise every year. Since 2009 I've only had 2 payrises that were more than 1% and several years of pay freeze. Not had a payrise since April 2020. Pension is- yes better than many will get. But nowhere near the gold plated pension that public sector workers are believed to get (if you are in your 40s or younger these weren't on offer any more) and I pay a lot more for it than I used to.

Work for a charity with pay scales tied to COSLA/ SJC trade unions.

As my FTE (I'm part time!) was over a certain limit I only received a 1% pay rise so effectively a pay cut.

This is in the background of being a sole employee and not earning enough for my employer to pay employer NICs AT ALL.
I pay employee NICs but only quarterly which means my NICs stay in the business account subbing them effectively. Groan.

Plus I work from home (deliberate decision pre 2020) to save £350 a month on the cost of a desk in a shared office

Plus I use my inclusive minutes to make all relevant phone calls.

I don't claim expenses for any printing (but 99% a paperless office anyway) and until recently I didn't claim expenses as it was my way of "supporting the charity".

I've started to claim every penny (but I save them money due to my rail card!) because funds are tight by the end of the month.
