Been offered 15% from Apr, 1.5% in Oct and RPI+1 next year. Being voted on now and doubtful it'll be accepted. Only had 8% since 2019 so workforce wanting more and closer to pay restoration to restore 2019 buying power and pay levels relative to RPI changes.

All I know is my salary has x2 and a bit from 2019 to present and none of it was from pay rises except last 12 months.

not hard to work out if you have access to all your p60s. I wish I kept more detailed info about my pension schemes.
my take home as x4 in the 22 years of working plus my pension payments. I didn't start paying pension till 2012.
 
I expect as close to 0% as the government can get close to and I cant say what Ive got because although it should have been already sorted it will likely be xmas by the time we get it like the year before last. In fact I think itbwas actually end of Jan before we got it for the previous April.

NHS, still we wait. 2% mooted. With he current time line if if we get those crumbs it won't be implemented until after summer, although backdated to April 1st, which is nice.

It's bad, salaries for NHS employees just continuing to fall even lower in real terms. Knock on effect is a contribution to the NHS becoming an even worse service.

Just got details of my bonus come through for last year - £9500. Not too shabby considering sales were nowhere near hitting targets. Hoping for a promotion and raise next month too.

Well the promotion hasn't happened - my boss left and my department was moved under another function so I have to re-build relationships with a whole new C-level sponsor now. Oh well, I can't complain, my work is good and I'm paid well, I'll just have to work with the new guy on a career plan.

This is one of the wider issues, the payrises aren't fully funded from the govt, so last year they gave the 3% that was budget for about 4 years ago, when the award was 5% that additional 2% had to come from existing budgets which further strains the system.

A system that is still paying back ridiculous PFI interest from the Blair/Brown years and pay rises that don't even cover the wages lost from striking... the whole thing is a loss for NHS staff sadly.

Thread disproves all the 'UK wage stagnation' rubbish!

I don't think this thread fully represents the broad demographic of the UK.

Much of the wage stagnation seems to be the lump in the middle as well i.e. low to mid level management roles, mid level office jobs in general, etc.

Quite. I would assume that this forum on average is in a more affluent and privileged position than the nation is. People who spend their disposable income on expensive electronics tend not to be those on the breadline.
 
0% for the last 2 years as the company is cutting costs and making redundancies left, right & centre.
I've started keeping my eyes open for places near me which are hiring because a 70 mile round trip each day (Gloucester - Bristol) is no longer worth it
 
Best pay rises I have received are from changing company’s, other than that it’s just been the rate of inflation roughly. Friend of mine and everyone at his company haven’t received anything in 3 years :eek:
