The inflation rate is a bit misleading, because I got a pay rise below the 'official' inflation rate, but I believe around or even over my 'personal' inflation rate.

I got a pay rise when I moved jobs within the last 12 months so I'm not sure if that counts...

I was promoted from 1st Jan and that came with a pay rise, my last official pay rise was April 2011 (3.5%) and it is due again April 2012 but not sure if I will get anything in this round due to the job move. Good news is that I was at the top of my grade in the old job and the bottom in this one so the only way is up LOL

Sorry just noticed - Private sector

The phrase "pay rise" is too generic. It could include, for example: (1) an increase in pay because of a change of job (either existing or new employer) (2) a regrading of existing job (3) a personal/organisational/national pay review - typically referred to as a "cost of living award" (4) an incremental progression on a pay scale (usually annual) (5) "bonus" payments/awards.

I assume that it was number 3 of my examples you were attempting to gauge but others may reasonably interpret the question to mean any increase in pay.

Heck. I work for a statutory corporation created as a "not for dividend" private company limited by guarantee.

Does that make me public or private sector?

My Local Government pension is due to rise by 5.2% this April ... which is nice ... but it would have been more if the corrupt government hadn't changed from RPI to CPI :mad:
