Pay awards/rises
The public-sector organisations that have implemented pay awards over the past year have typically done so at a level above that paid a year earlier and often in favour of lower-paid staff. We look at the detail, including key settlements in the sector.
Despite a marked increase on the previous year, pay awards in the not-for-profit sector continue to fall behind those in most other sectors.
The latest XpertHR analysis of pay awards again shows a slowdown in growth overall, although public-sector pay deals are starting to come in at record levels.
In this report we provide an overview of when in the year pay settlements are implemented and details of when pay review budgets are set.
With pay awards reaching the highest levels of the last 30 years, we review the trends in both basic pay awards and those based on a measure of performance.
For the first time in 2023, preliminary settlement analysis from XpertHR indicates the median pay award has dropped below 6%.
At the halfway point in the year, pay awards remain high but continue to lag behind inflation, implying many employees are still facing a real-terms cut.
Latest pay settlement analysis from XpertHR indicates that the median basic pay award stands at 6% for the fifth consecutive rolling quarter.
XpertHR's latest analysis of pay settlement trends takes in April pay reviews, the most common month in the year for this activity. The data reveals no let-up in pay pressures, with the median standing firm on the level recorded in the first quarter of the year.
