Is it unusual for a company to not announce new salaries?

Good Evening,

I work at a job where I was earning below the new minimum wage which came in yesterday. However, despite me frequently asking management/HR, they have not mentioned the what the new salaries for people in my role (Or anywhere in the progression plan) would be. Naturally this is making budgeting very difficult as I don't know what my income will be this month, let alone whether I think it is a fair income.

Is this a normal thing? Is it common for companies to not confirm the salaries when asked by an employee?

A bit unusual but not unheard of.

The new rates started yesterday but don't necessarily apply to everyone from 1 April; they have to be implemented from the start of the next full pay period. If you're paid monthly, that could indeed be 1 April, so you should be able to work out for yourself what your minimum pay is going to be.
