Settlements on upward curve
Pay settlements put on a spurt in November, LRD Payline data shows.
November’s median rise of 3.0% on the lowest grade in collectively agreed settlements was up from the revised rise of 2.4% in the three-month period ending October.
If the standard increase is taken — the rise received by most grades or workers — the three-monthly median rise was up to 2.5% in November from the 2.0% rise in the three-month period ending October.
Official data for average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, revealed a 2.4% increase in October against the revised rise for September of 2.3%.
