    A pay rise has been approved for all other staff members this year. One person who had a disciplinary procedure earlier this year has been told he wont be getting one. One person out of the entire workforce. Is this totally legal then? :(
    yes I guess it is

    Such an event is one of the few things that can prove constructive dismissal.
    Also the Equal pay act works both ways, if someone of opposite sex is paid more for the same work, then they have a case for a claim.

    Are you confusing a pay rise with a cost of living adjustment ?
    What's a cost of living adjustment?

    CPI inflation is around 3% anything above this would technically be a pay rise, anything around or below is a cost of living increase, mind you they are so rare that you could sell them as a rise.
    Just be careful, a lot on here, are very Anti-worker.
    Nope, just anti-idiot

    If you wage goes up by even 1p that is a rise, irrespective of the cost of living rises. It really is that simple.

    One of the advantages of having a union and collective bargaining is that negotiated increases are fairly and uniformly applied according to the terms of the agreement. This just would not happen in this way. Merit rises of course might be withheld but that is far less overtly vindictive than what has happened here
    You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'
