I think people with a pay review would be better off having a review sooner rather than later this year. (providing the use an inflation index for the offer)

Really Really? (see what I did there!:D)

I'd have thought that the pay freeze is still ongoing, whereas there is at least the possibility of some purse strings loosening by the time the 2nd half of the year arrives?

We are not pay freezing next financial year, last year was just precautionary. If companies are still making profits now cant see there being much to back them up for freezing pay.

I think pay increase will be low, but if you are due one it is better to have one when inflation is high as most are in some way index linked.
