Annual pay rise lottery


Got 4.5% last year. Would be pretty disappointed if it wasn't at least that again. I wasn't happy with that to be honest, even regionally it's still a below average wage for the role. Would be looking at 12% just to bring it in line.
 
Our place is still argueing about this year's (22-23) payrise. The offer currently stands at 4%, which is the most the contract can offer without permission from head office.
 
Had mine earlier in the year, 10% for the whole team to help with cost of living. We're a fairly small business though and we're having a strong year so wasn't going to turn it down.
 
Be lucky to get 2%.

Industrial action is planned, so hoping that puts some pressure on the government.
It won't.
It can't.
Only big unions (eg rail workers) have a chance anyway.
The rest of us will suffer if rail workers get 10% with higher costs. Not the government
 
Pay freeze for what seems an eternity (over 2 years) so literally any number would be an improvement. Will only have a sniff when the rail strikes have been settled (not a front line worker, just an office grunt).
 
initial offer of 5%, £500 and 5 days extra holiday next year has been rejected. They’re coming back with their ‘final offer’ next week 🙄
 
Just had to do my annual self-assessment as the first stage in our review process. Ridiculous that you don't hear the result of it until March and then don't get the pay rise until June so I've had to full in a big form to say why I should get a pay rise in 7 months time.

Last year the bonus was pretty good at 9% but the pay rise was only 1.7%. Can't see the bonus being so big this year as our sales haven't been so good but I'll be very annoyed if the pay rise isn't significantly higher.

The advantage to an employer of giving money as a bonus is that there is no commitment to doing the same the following year and they don't have to pay pension contributions on it and it doesn't affect redundancy and other entitlements.
