Who is getting a pay rise this year

So are the public sector workers getting a raw deal?

Rhyme · 24-11-2009 09:07PM

I thought the first option said 'pay cult' and clicked it.

Gummy Panda · 24-11-2009 09:11PM

Pay rise, I haz it!

thomond2006 · 24-11-2009 09:13PM

The judges hunting paedophile priests?

Jay P · 24-11-2009 09:13PM

I'm getting an 11% pay rise in April. Or something like that. All the way from €7.26 up to €8.17. Oh the joys of working for the absolute minimum wage

That will be fine.

Seeking a pay rise at this time would be acting he bollox

Mossy Monk · 24-11-2009 09:32PM

No pay rise for me. Not that I expected one.

I agree with this sentiment.

Davidius · 24-11-2009 09:58PM

Depends if I get a job.

manutd · 24-11-2009 10:20PM

The same as ever.

mahamageehad · 24-11-2009 10:23PM

The same as ever, 9.09 an hour.

I took early retirement three years ago on half pay. The company has since gone busto, and we now find that the pension fund was underfunded. When they sort it out at best I will get a 0% pay rise until I die, or possibly a 30% pension cut and 0% pay rises.

Perhaps I should march by myself around the city and see if anyone cares.

I'm not in the public service btw. :rolleyes:

24-11-2009 11:18PM

6.25% pay rise in Jan.

galwayrush · 24-11-2009 11:18PM

I'm self employed, plenty of work on, i just wish i could get paid.:mad:

Mad_Max · 24-11-2009 11:20PM

Nah won't be getting a rise next year. Twill be a cut if anything, companies running at a loss at the minute.

I'm trying to get collegues to strike just in they're thinking of cutting our pay :rolleyes::P

Sangre · 24-11-2009 11:21PM

I will be in Febraury. I will be on a grand less than what I was on.

ball · 24-11-2009 11:22PM

No pay rise.

Getting an attendance bonus, performance bonus and profit-share bonus though.

Private sector ftw

Mrmoe · 24-11-2009 11:23PM

I will be getting a payrise of 1 trillion percent. I currently receive €0.

xxlilyxx · 24-11-2009 11:28PM

im stayin the same but i am due a quarterly bonus in january that wil be handy

littletiger · 25-11-2009 12:19AM

I asked the question because I know three people working for different multi-national companies and each are getting both a pay rise and bonus.

Should probably have a "have you been made redundant in the last year?" too! Only joking.

I think I'll be the same but that could change in March. I have either the same, less or nothing at all coming to me.

You get a bonus for turning up :eek:

ixoy · 25-11-2009 12:29AM

No pay rise this year, not expecting any for a bit.

gandalf · 25-11-2009 12:33AM

Because I changed job twice this year to stay in employment I am down 30% in take home pay compared to two years ago.

In fairness, I haven't missed a day in 2 years

Well to qualify for the full minimum wage of €8.65, you need to be over 18 and have two years work done from the date of your 18th birthday. So I'll be 20 when I get the full minimum wage.

Aged under 18, the minimum wage is 70% of the full minimum wage (€6.06)
Aged 18, it rises to 80%, and rises 10% eah year after that until you have two years worked.

Where I work, there is an agreement that we get 5% higher than the minimum wage, so I'm on €7.27, lucky me

tbh, I'm just happy to have a job.

Oh. Fair enough, you have my blessing.

Just listening to Vincent Browne on TV interviewing Public Sector Workers on the picket line. He asked one young lady how much she is earning (nurse). She said about €2,700(take home) a month. As far as I could gather, she is single! Good on her. What is she on strike for!

Earlier on today i heard a fire service worker being interviewed (on radio). He told the reporter he is on €60k a year and cannot afford to take a pay cut! Dear God! What are these people like? My job was cut down to 2 days a week......I now get €80 a day and UB for the other three days! They should try live on that!:eek:

And guess what, I WON'T be getting a pay rise this year! In fact, my job is probably going after Christmas!

Yeah, truth is, nearly everyone can live on less, especially those who are in middle/upper-class and don't have massive debt. They just don't want to, and that's fair enough I suppose, who would?
