How much is YOUR pay rise this year

[superseagulls]

related to the other poll, what with the recession etc just wondering what NSC'ers are getting on average

 

[superseagulls]

blah was meant to ADD a poll

 

[Brighton Breezy]

A big fat 0 per cent. Just like last year.

We even had a signed three year pay deal between our company and the union, which the bosses went back on in the second year of three.

Left my very well paid job earlier in the year and have started up on my own; can give myself any sort of pay rise I like ... and then when I start making some money I could actually pay myself some of it! As I am earning, currently, about 10% of what I had previously fairly keen to do well in the pay rise / income stakes in the coming months!

0.5% in February 2010, backdated to Agust 2009.

Basically we have had a large voluntary redundancy scheme and the employer wanted to get rid of some staff before giving the pay rise to the remaining staff.

Last year we had a 12.5% cut.

From this April that becomes a 6% cut.

After nearly 4 years in this job, I am still earning less than when I started.

 

[beorhthelm]

0% this year following a 1% last year.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

0%

Would be useful if people added Private or Public sector!

 

[superseagulls]

private sector and we got 3.5% inflation pay rise we also get from 0-2 increments each year (£400 ish each increment) depending on performance

 

[Easy 10]

Private sector.

0% 2009
0% 2010

 

[jharris]

1.5%, public

 

[bhaexpress]

What's a pay rise ?

 

[Uncle C]

Private pension 0.0%

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Private Sector 0 per cent this year and last year.

 

[Da Man Clay]

2% Public.

 

[Cian]

Private sector
2009: 2%
2010: As yet unspecified. Not expecting anything, especially after there being redundancies

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Love it how the government ask employers to show pay restraint and yet the public sector pay rises (given the evidence on here) seem to continue?

No doubt civil servants everywhere are now smashing a response into their keyboards (** could I just remind you that whilst you are doing that my taxes are paying your wages)

** For those of an agressive or unstable disposition this is a flippant comment designed to create an irrational response, known on NSC as fishing)

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Private sector.

0% 2009
0% 2010

Likewise. And while I would like one I'm just pleased to have avoided the chop !

 

[severnside gull]

a big fat zilch - indeeed I estimate that the combination of my pension and earnings from self employment has probably fallen by around 20% in the last couple of years

I should return to public sector employment but I'm enjoying myself too much
