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.

We got 3% this month (London university)

No payrise in three years. Shit company. Am applying for new jobs but it's august so I'm not holding out for too much happening just yet.

When minimum wage went up this year the company gave us a small increase, so £9.60an hour. However they have cut everything else to the bone. Our unit needs 6 to be run safely - usually with two agency staff, but the company have slashed the budget for agency since the pay rise, so we have run with an average of 4, on some truly horrific days 2 of us for 24 residents. All the previous bonuses and incentives were removed, overtime was slashed from double time to £3 more an hour. It's an truly amazing team which is why I haven't left yet but I've been looking for other places this week.

I got 3% (it was between 1-3%). Work in private healthcare. I got quite a big jump last year of around 27% so didn’t expect anything this year.

No, in Tech too, but I've taken on consultancy work by night to help pay the bills.
The very large international company I work for has been asked a few times now about what it is doing in this regard and has been dismissive which is disappointing for a company that gives the impression that they care.
I notice they seem to have frozen new hiring.

Not in the UK, but my team have all been given pay rises. Partly to do with inflation, partly because our salaries were already lagging behind compared to the sector as a whole and they were struggling to recruit staff to fill vacancies. It is limited to those in my particular profession because apparently those in other professions weren't so underpaid compared to market rate.

I got 10%. People at more junior pay grades got more but not sure how much more.

Work for a charity - not a chance.

One 3% pay rose since 2019.

Very unlikely to get another in the foreseeable future.

I'm a freelancer, i work for 4 companies. One place has risen hourly rate by £5, the other £3 an hour. The other two haven't budged, despite them I predict being the more profitable organisations

I got 5% but I only work 20 hours a week and it actually only equates to £25 a month extra in my pay, but still - I'm happy enough

3 percent minimum announced today, more for lower graded staff, which is good. Just checked my salary incoming tomorrow and its an extra 84 per month, could, and indeed has, been worse. The union, despite being a shitstorm on many issues that matter to me, did ok there. I'll stay with them for now. I'm picking my hill to die on with them and nearly left this year. However I pay them over a third of that increase and would have got it anyway.....dilemmas.

Yes, and it sounds good but I haven't had one for the last three years, so when it's balanced out over that period it doesn't equate to much at all. In a union but my profession is to allowed to strike.

Minimum wage went up. I'd just had a payrise before that .... so basically sn extra month at the new minimum wage was my lot. I'm in care, there's no way the MC children of our clients think we deserve a pay rise.

Funny you should say that @TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination, I am actually working my notice at the moment and starting a new job in three weeks time, back in the public sector, where T's & C's at least, should be better!

We gave all our staff a 5% payrise this year and a few staff have had additional payrises to bring their salaries up to market rates which was effectively a 15% payrise.

I joined our business in 2015 and my business partner and I gave ourselves our first payrise of 5% since then too.

I had 4% in April and will receive another 4% in October. We also received a small bonus in July to those that earned under £35k with another bonus In December
Private global company

I'm in the public sector and the annual pay increase was agreed at 3%. Better than previous years but no where near touching the sides of the cost of living. I'm definitely not moaning though. I won't get an additional increment as I'm top of my grade.

Exactly the same here, lipsandlashes, others will get a rise in October, but I'm an old timer, so top of the scale....

I changed jobs at the start of the year and got a 6% pay rise, better hours, closer to home. Negotiated another pay review for last month and got an extra 6% then too. None of that has been based on the cost of living crisis though, it would have happened anyway.

It's a small business that isn't long opened. I know their electric bills are huge, and only going to climb. I am happy with my current wage and will look for more as the business grows.

I'm reasonably happy with mine. I did like that they raised the percentage for lower earning staff though, that was a good move. I lose most of mine in tax, but it will make a big difference to people on different pay grades. Good union negotiation there, despite their wrongness on other issues.

I reckon that my cost of living rises are almost being wiped.out by not having to commute in each day, so I can live with it. For other jobs, its not so easy, I see that.

I got an extra 45p a month. Not sure what I'm going to splash all that extra cash on. 🙄

Private sector but Government adjacent.

We got a payrise 3% and a lump sum then I got offered a promotion so have increased my salary further. Which I'm really grateful for after years working as a civil servant begging for overtime to make ends meet.

Public sector, we've been offered 2% but I believe the unions have not accepted it so nothing is decided yet and will probably be almost Christmas before it is sorted.

Last year was 0% and the year before that was 2%.

Prior to that I was in another public sector organisation and there were about 6 years of no payrises.

They do give people on lower grades more pay rises though.

I'm nhs too. We should all be getting one in next months salary backdated to April. Depends what band you are as to what % you recieve though.

@Nidan2Sandan if you are private sector, I'd suggest a box of drawing pins to put under the tyres of the ceo's car. Only.joking...that's really bad, sorry to hear that.
