What was your salary increase %?

[xrapidx]

So - considering its an apparent recession in SA - what was your salary increase percentage?

I've been offered 5% - which, to me, is a decrease of 3% considering inflation year on year, is 8%.

I'm probably going to look elsewhere, as I'm not to happy here anyways.

You do what you need to do boet!

But I suggest maybe asking for more first, then justifying it.

I think it worked out to 3.5% or something... but I'd rather be employed and am happy enough where I'm working...

 

[EchoZA]

8%

 

[Sting]

5%, average was 4%.

I shouldn't need to justify my salary staying the same - 8% means my salary is the same as last year this time.

Bosses don't think the way we (employees) do

 

[Shake&Bake]

13.4% but I reckon it still works out less than the 4's & 5's thrown around here

% increase on Basic Salary or Cost to Company?

 

[xrapidx]

I've averaged about 15% the past couple of years, 2005 and 2006 were each 40%...

Funny thing is, I started with this company a year ago - and at the time I though to myself that this will probably happen next year - spot on I guess.

 

[Shake&Bake]

Well that was my CTC.

% increase on Basic Salary or Cost to Company?

Your package - I only get a basic as I'm a contractor type worker...

 

[MisterBigglesworth]

12.5%....hoping to get more with my sal appraisel coming up as my boss said he wanted to give me more early this year.

 

[xrapidx]

I recon I'll probably resign for anything less than 10%....

Did a proposal for some private work today - they'll probably offer me a job offering slightly more than the 5% they're offering - and I'll probably take it.

I don't want to work for a company that works like an insurance company, they first wait till you find other work that pays more before matching that offer or beating it.

Haven't got an increase yet? You guys are lucky!

 

[dualmeister]

ZERO

 

[CeeBee]

i generally get >10% every year for past ... many... years.
but then again, I do put in way more hours than I 'have' to, (IT job)
and I generally get more works also every year.

 

[Ou grote]

8%
But bonus more than makes up for it.

 

[xrapidx]

So do I, timesheet usually has around 40+ hours overtime...

Thing is - I'm going to tell them that if I do stay, I'm only willing to work 120 hours a month, 4 days a week - I'll then do what I did before them, and earn more money doing private work.
