Poll: Pay rise 2022

What do you expect as a pay rise this year?

Managed to pull 13% payraise and 15% bonus.

I'm a fairly high earner and would have been happy with less even with the cost of living going up.

They must want me to stick around. And I'm happy to.
 
Seems like nothing here. I joined in June and so wasn't sure if i'd get it, although had "hoped" as my last place just rolled me into the usual inflation rises when i started at a similar point in the year.

On the plus side, i'm getting a bonus prorated for the 6 months that i worked which i hadn't expected. Although an inflationary % rise would then compound to future years which would've been handy!
 
What are some best practices for discussing a pay rise? Been in my current role since May last year but with the company since it started in 2019. 3 people in the team, 1 who started in May with me (not internal though) and other who started end of last year.

you'll need justification. Reasons why you should be paid more. Your worth to the company and potentially your worth to other companies too.

Well done! Feels good being appreciated.

I've only done better by moving jobs (27% better), and that doesn't really count lol.

Looking at this thread depresses me with our 1.5% 'rise'.

Be thankful. Buddies working at Land Registry (software devs etc) have been on a pay freeze for many years now. Way before covid started. P.s. LR chose Plymouth for the lower pay which is why they have it there. Talented bunch of people and they get #### on with pay "because south west". Wasn't till I moved I realized my worth.
 
Recieved the news of just under a 7% rise + bonus which is around what I laid out I needed 2 months back in the annual appraisal.
 
Found out today, 3% across the company - not entirely pleased with that, was hoping for 4% at least however shouldn't grumble because the bonus, which is usually 10% is 10.8%.

What's not so good is that they've decided 2023's rise already at 2% :confused:, as always you've got to move companies for a proper rise.
 
Likely between 2-3% here, although we haven't been told yet. We got 1%+£500 last year.

I can only remember one year where we got a decent rise and it was only because a 2 year deal had been agreed the year before linked to RPI at the time. RPI jumped in the 2nd year and caught the company off guard. Not long after that the MD and the company parted ways.
 
Been off 6 months unless sick pay rises from 96 quid a week ( plus a little tax back ,it runs out at 28 weeks anyway iirc)
well done you top revenue earners
but 8.5k from investments last month ,most in a tax wrapper edit tbf though wont spend this but reinvest apart from adding to kids weddings funds

Got a surprise email today that we're all getting 1.5% rise from April to help offset the increase in NI. Normal pay review still to take place in June/ July.
 
Couldn’t find the 2023 thread. Getting a decent pay rise thank goodness. About 6% on one of my roles and 100% on the other. Not complaining, even if the tax man does do well out of it. Can’t say I saw it coming tbh. Should top up the savings pot nicely. Thanks to our new CEO for actually recognising the importance of pay and good staff.

I keep track of my pay and committed monthly outgoings and have worked out, since 2020, my pay has risen 8.5% and my expenses have increased by 16%, this will increase again when my mortgage fixed rate comes to an end, but got a couple of years before that problem needs to be addressed.
