I review my rates every 12 months and adjust as required, factoring in all associated costs.

What do you define as ‘proper’ pay rise?

Public sector worker here and last few years got 1% increase back-dated from beginning of financial year, usually arrives early autumn

I'm assuming by proper he means inline with inflation.

Private sector

Pay rise every year between 1and 3% also got one off payment but that means year on year basic pay hardly rises

Ditto, since I started my profession in 2009 I’ve never had a pay rise that matched inflation.

I haven't had a pay rise in line with inflation since the mid 90's maybe?

And those in the Privite sector? Who works for a boss and can get fired with no rights ? Nice to know all who is in the same boat. IE : have to look for a new job

My highest cost of living increase has been 2.5% and that was only 1 year. Most have been 1% and I've had a few years of 0%.

Oh and I'm public sector if we're comparing.

My last pay rise when I was an employee was 20%, that was when I presented them with a job offer and asked them to match, which they did, as I knew I was vastly underpaid.

As for normal annual rises between 0-1.5% was fairly normal.

As a business owner I have to stay competitive so certainly couldn't justify a ~10% increase inline with current inflation. I'd lose a good bit of work.

Private sector.

Between 2-3% past 3 years. 5% this year.

If I wanted more I'd have to change employer. No guarantees.
