Does anyone know if there's a national average % for your pay to go up?

I've just had my annual rise and it's not what I'd hope it would be :(

I dont know about the avarage but if it makes you feel any better i got an amazing 2.49% this year
 
your not legally entitled to a pay rise each though most companys at least try to keep in line with inflation.

Even this still can be a massive financial burden to them so they often stagger a payrise over the course of 12 months, so say 2% in Jan & another 1.5% in June time
 
One should expect to at least receive an increase in line with inflation but it's not compulsory (unless on minimum wage of course).

Most contracts for permanent positions state an annual review but no employers don't have to give payrises by law.

I set someone on 3 weeks ago and he came in asking for a payrise yesterday! 8O
 
Ours go on performance pay you need to either

Exceed
Meets
Typically Meets
Does not Meet

One of the criteria above denotes your payrise.......

so anything from 10% - 0% payrise..........
 
Ok so the pay rise percentage itself is good, but for the role I do and the courses I've studied the pay I've got is pretty poor.
I've taken on lots of new roles and studied my a.rse off for 4 years to be a part qualified accountant, they haven't even recognised this at all :(

Oh well I'm leaving in a couple of months so that'll make them realise!! :evil:
 
We generally get a rise just above inflation (last year about 3% for me) plus a performance related bonus scheme based on KPI's set at the start of the year and company performance. Supposed to be possible to get up to 15% of your salary in bonus but I don't know anyone who got that last year.

You're leaving?? Have you got another job lined up?
 
I find the best way to get a decent pay rise is to apply for a new job, at interview tell them you are earning more than what you really are then negotiate even higher with your potential new employer.

Its worked well for me although I am quite settled where I am now

Wage increases under those circumstances really need to be negotiated with your boss.

If you believe you've taken on extra duties and especially if you're doing well, you should be paid for it but chances are if your company can get out of paying you the amount you deserve, they will!

Just sit down with your boss with an outline of everything you do, how much you've brought to the company, how much other people doing the same role are paid, etc...
