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

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. |
