Poll: Pay rise 2022

What do you expect as a pay rise this year?

  • Total voters
    577
I was pleased with mine which I found out today was 5.1%. I was expecting about 2.5 - 3.0.

I was fortunate enough to be able to award one of my team members 10.1%. Averages have been about 3.5%.

I work in banking. I wait to accept the inevitable "banker bashing".
 
All the hourly paid staff got 50p pay rises which equates up to 5% pay rise on some grades. I am not holding my breath with salary as our jobs are easily replaced but it will get to a point where the top hourly paid jobs will out earn the salary which will just end up in tears as everyone will start jumping ship.

I got 13.5%, but I was a graduate moving up to junior engineer.

I still don't think that I'm paid well though and it's difficult to estimate what I should be earning as my reference data is from 2018 and obviously inflation has gone mental recently.

My feeling at the moment is that I'll wrap up my current projects (for chartership reasons) and look to move on towards the end of the year.

Plenty of jobs out there at the moment in the construction/engineering/consultancy sector, it should be fairy easy to bag yourself a decent increase by simply switching to a competitor.

With inflation at a 30year high, what do expect as a pay rise this year?

Maybe a poll?

Nothing, self employed
<3%
3-5%
5-7%
>7%

I work for a unionised company and will be expecting 5-7%, hoping for more.

I never really understood these cost of living rises/inflation rises as 5% for someone on 80k is lot more then someone on say 20k
And when you add the differences up for higher earners vs lower earners over 10 years it equals a really crazy difference.

Just makes a bigger gap between the lower & higher paid people each year

It's you didn't over time a care worker would be at parity with a surgeon.
 
NHS here, if it's more than the thin end of bugger all I'll be surprised.
I'd say "and we wonder why we can't recruit" but we know why we can't recruit. we're not allowed to do anything about it.
but I think that may be the plan.
 
Feel for those in the NHS… if any one deserves a pay rise, it’s those guys.

Waiting to see what we get in April, along with our bonus and a promotion for me on top. Company did very well last year, double-digit billions, so we are quietly confident.
 
Work for one of the big energy companies and getting 4% increase after 4 years of 0%, better than nothing but doesnt even cover inflation and cost of living for the last 4 years
