It depends on how much you earn.
If you do a paper round, it is about pretty good

It beats getting a negative pay rise.

well i'm not doing the math but someone i work with went up 1p an hour last week
So are people generally getting small rises or a freeze? We have just been going through pay negotiations at work and they have come back with roughly £200 a month before tax. 6%.
Most of the guys in work are not happy with this. I think they expect too much personally.

My employer needs me and I would leave if the raise was insulting - so no I don't have this problem.

I didnt get a raise, so you got more than me
If you dont like your extra pay, you can paypal it to me?

It's all gone to Npower already, essentially. You could ask them for it

Is it illegal to not give your staff a raise in 4 years?

So they're on ~£3300 a month and getting a 6% rise and they're not happy?
Tell them to shut up and get a grip on reality. Pay freezes are normal now. Pay rises of 6% aren't (except for those at the top of the pyramid, obviously).
Hah. Glad it isn't just me thinking that then. I think they are really annoyed about the pension indexing being changed in line with government. So I don't suppose they would be content unless it reverted back to RPI and the 6% thanks very much.
They are talking about walking out the door over it.

Is it a part time job or some sort of public sector employer where you get paid according to whatever generic class/pay band they slot your job into rather than based on individual performance/perceived value you add?
I mean a random rise like that is perhaps explainable if its simply a case that your public sector pay grade is worth x amount next year which is an increase of £73... but if its actually a case of you going into a meeting with your boss and being told your individual raise for next year is £73 then, wow, your boss not only doesn't like you but really wants to rub your face in it...
