No pay rises here.

And I certainly dont agree with minimum across the board rises....pay rises should be earned.

I would certianly be freezing all public sector rises in the currant climate.

we are part of a world wide group and american owned, work load is very seasonal just coming up to the busy period, which means since the last busy period we have seen little affect so far.

 Last year we where the only factory to hit and well exceed target. Unfortunately on average the group was under target, result, no pay rise. There has been no mention of profit level. Group profit level has advantages and disadvantages, but in a world wide recession i would rather have no rise today and a job tomorrow.

 Having said that, i get the feeling some are using the recession as an excuse.


I don't like saying this but if you are a large company and your little competitors are forced to make wage-cuts or freezes, then if you don't "react" you will come out of the recession un-competitive on wages.

You would have to gamble that the little ones will go bust but the ones that have managed to negotiate cuts/freezes obviously have a supportive workforce so that's not a strong argument.

It must be said that a company that sees it's workforce accept a cut/freeze is more likely to give a rise when it's possible.

Personally, I have only survived being without a proper contract for 8 months because I exercised wage restraint.

Answer to OP: Wage cut!

About the same as last year........break all. :( Our company had to make a few staff redundant last month and I'll be lucky if the company survives until the end of this year. :'(

I work for the exception to that rule - they have given us below inflation raises since we started working there. They won't even allow us on their T&Cs (as the payscale we would be on for our job role would be much higher), so stuck on special pre-TUPE T&Cs.

Technically, also zilch, nadda, zero. As i'm self employed my wages only go up if I work more! Like Tonka i've taken to some odd jobs, and when my brother was laid off from IT support in February he was fitting kitchens, gardening and painting until he managed to finally land a new job last week. Phew!

A lot of my time I mostly work for M&B and the wages they pay us 'entertainers' are the same as in 1997.  :o I'm just happy to be working at the mo'

However last week a call came for a 25% cut in the budget so all the techies lost their jobs and I was faced with a 50% cut for one nights work. Thankfully the figures were adjusted and we've just took a smaller hit. :(

This year we are having no payrises. The company itself has gone through 2 redundancy sessions in 6 months this year alone reducing the workforce by nearly 100 people (15% workforce).

It make you wonder if changing jobs in August last year was a good idea. However, I currently have more satisfaction from the job than my previous one.

I am glad I still have a job and feel sorry for those that have lost them. It is my belief that companies have used this to trim some of the 'dead wood' from them.

As a self employed cab driver....I am down about 30% on takings since last year......and its not just me...talk to other drivers and they say the same.....which is a huge drop....and tends to lead to drivers working silly hours to try to make it up....
ie I worked 16 hours last friday  ::)

The only advantage is.....the goverment will be getting far less money of us drivers this year in tax  :)

Another one with the 'zero' pay rise here,  I work for a charity, and money is always tight. Have not had a pay rise for the last 5 years, then it was only 'cost of living'.
charities are taking a real battering during this recession, and we merged with another charity last year. Been some 'rationalising' of the new group, but fortunately the only losses are from head office ie; duplicated jobs.
No losses from the 'shop floor' as it were, yet. I really enjoy the job itself, shame that the wages are so low.
But, as has been said by many others, at least I have a job, more than a lot of people..

It could be worse, you could be striking over a 6% offered pay rise.
