Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

Mate that is tight AF. Next time you see HR spit on them. Someone has gone out of their way to identify that and save the company a fiver.

I was told about this in my annual review yesterday so I asked who I could contact if I had any queries about it. My manager (who leaves next month) got really defensive about it as if she has to pay me out of her own pocket. I don't understand these people at all.

I actually misread, they have only offered 3%. Their justification was as you say, May CPIH was 2.8%, so this is an above inflation offer. Can only laugh, as February RPI was always used previously as the base for pay rises, which was 4.5% this year. Either way, unions won't let them get away with it.

One of the reasons they gave for only giving us 2% was inflation coming down, which was only the case in May.. rest of the year to date it was above that!
 
I am only on minimum wage ,and only get increases when it goes up.
Plus they took away the extra pay on overtime for some of us, (2 different roles at lower levels, they get longer hours paid in the week & OT pay conveniently starts just after that) just flat rate so hardly worth giving up a day of my weekend as we are only allowed to do 6 days max.
Plus the attendance bonus that was £20 @ week for non driver jobs like me and £40 for drivers was taken away, it was a nice difference to the month getting another 80-100 depending on 4 or 5 week month.
Not to mention sick days are unpaid so it really costs you to be ill.

I mean, that's the obvious answer, but you have no idea what their circumstances are. There are a lot of people who aren't able to get roles that pay above minimum wage or are limited in the kind of roles they can do.

The job market is also in pretty bad shape at the moment. I'm always keeping an eye out and testing the waters, and for my sector it's the worst it's been in years.
 
When I worked at Morrisons years ago my pay was like 80p above minimum wage then the company proposed a bigger pay rise to something like £2 above min in exchange if we gave up paid breaks and Sunday premium plus some other benefits for late evening workers/night shift workers. The crappy Usdaw union recommended it and so it was voted through with ease.

Now I hear Morrisons now only pay minimum wage so everyone who is still working there when the vote happened have been right royally shafted.

And when they took the paid breaks away, you didn't have a choice to just work them for the same pay, you still had to take your breaks and they cut everyone's contract accordingly.

I was there when all that happened, along them changing the dept managers and "merging" depts so they need less managers, all reapply for their jobs
 
3% last year, 2% this year... private sector tech company

we're all told its "pay for performance" and not a cost of living / inflation raise...

Yeah, our raises are offically called "annual performance review".. but in the 2 years I've been there, the raises have been above inflation. Our bonuses are linked to the org's profit.

People who preform below the standard get's their pay frozen and put onto review, where they need to make the required improvements. Depending on their performance after the review they may get their pay back dated, I can only guess at what happens if you don't pass the review.
 
I get 2 pay rises a year a cost of living one and a performance one.

the cost of living one was ... 4.5% I think (I should know I only got it last month :/ ) and the performance one was about 3%
 
typically 2-3% but obviously based on performance and budgeting.. if i do well, i get around 7% - Private Sector - Fintech Services

4% payrise and 9% bonus. I'm happy with this as I have only worked at the company for 6 months.

I don't forsee any big pay rises until I attain chartered status, hopefully I'lll acheive this in 2 years time.
