0o/o and no bonus this year
I work for the NHS : the only reward i expect is the gratitude from my grateful patients.
I work for the NHS, the only thing I expect is to pay at least another 1% of my salary into my pension on top of the 1.5% extra I have paid since April. Rumours of a 1% payrise though, which is nice after nothing for 2 years.
I have heard about the 1% as well but the notice we got about it was so confusing no one understood it. Am just going to wait and see.
Just got my Christmas bonus yesterday in Novembers pay, company doing very well and last year I god a good pay rise (20%), and the company has done even better in the last year, and is already looking good for next year, so January's pay rise will be interesting.

I'm just counting down the 52 months and 2 weeks before I can retire with my GOLD PLATED ! pension

Not had a pay rise in 3 years+, not even cost of living adjustment, so effectively, had a pay cut each year. Fact of life for the majority of us, unless you have trade union representation, or public sector gold plated contracts. No point getting fed up, it won't change anything, it would be nice to get an Xmas bonus, but again, not seen one for some years now.
Gold plated public sector contracts?! Pay freezes for the last 2 years and for the foreseeable, a freeze on experience / skill based increases and pension contributions up from 11% to 14% staged over the next 3 years! Certainly not gold plated!!
I said, if you're on one of the gold plated public sector ones, wasn't suggesting they all are. Likewise index linked indestructible public sector and civil service pensions, the sort of thing I can only dream of.
I don't need to dream about them
Lucky bugger. I have a friend who has worked for a London Borough for all his working life, he'll be a higher rate income tax payer when he gets his pension when he retires in a couple of years.
I know,I am very lucky so just hang around doing the same job marking time at present
Thats why this country is in the shit
