Pay and bonus expectations in 2010
Both public and private sector workers are expecting a pay rise at least as good as last year according to a survey by YouGov.
However, this has to be seen in the context of 51% private sector and 17% public sector workers suffering a pay freeze in 2009. the figures for pay cuts were 7% in the private and 2% in the public sector.
Increases for 2010 are predicted by employees to be 3% for private and 2% for public sector, but 27% (private) and 20% (public) still believe that their pay will not rise at all.
Across both sectors and average of 29% workers receive a cash bonus. Of these 26% do not expect a bonus in 2010, 25% expect it to be the same as in 2009, 18% think it will be lower, and 22% think it will be larger.
