Payrise in 2025?

bamgbost

Just wondering how many employers out there are actually giving an annual payrise in this current climate.

We're having high cost of living, increase in council tax, water rates, the usual, etc... but employers are also feeling the pinch with the NI increase and the ever increasing cost of doing business.

So how many of us are seeing an incremental rise this year at all?

I can go first, and we have just been informed of a 2.5% inflationary rise. Which i guess is better than a kick in the teeth. What about you's?

Rumours of anywhere between 4 & 7% here.

Didn’t get one last year, not expecting to get one this year. Statutory voluntary sector  begrudgingly funded by skint local authority.  At the top of the salary scale so cost of living is all that would be happening anyway.

Incremental  by  time and  meeting  core standard  / Performance  rises are seperate from Cost of living / inflation / minimum wage driven  rises in most settings

Engineering consultancy. 8.1% for me, and general increase across the company was 5.2%. I honestly wasn't expecting that as I got a 10.1% increase last year with a promotion. A pleasant surprise. 

According to the latest data, wages including bonuses are increasing by 5.8% on average.

Mine (academic's salary) was 4.8% - 2.3% of that was from my annual increment and the remaining 2.5% from the nationally-bargained pay award. This usually happens every September but the pay award was split - £900 in September, the remainder in this month's salary.

University workers on lower grades would have received an increase of he pay award element of up to 5.7%.

We have just had some forms through on what our unions are asking......8.6% which I thinks a bit of a stretch maybe there angle is meet at 5%

I work in a private education centre and have been for 14 years and in that time I have only ever had 3 pay rises. Very much doubt I will get one this year either.
