Issue of Pay Rises in England

The issue of pay rises in the workplace is rarely far from the news, or our collective minds. From the lop-sided male v female BBC pay scale, to the wild increases of city-slickers at a time of recession, pay rises are quite rightly a divisive subject.

Financial experts Money Guru were keen to gauge the views of the British workforce and how they felt the pay rise debate really played out at ground level.

Men are three times more likely to have flirted with their boss for a pay rise
Both sexes prefer to ask a boss of their own gender for a rise
Over 50% of people believe upper classes have an advantage when it comes to pay rises
40% don’t believe performance is the main key to a pay rise

The survey of 1500 tax-paying British adults looks at how the public judges the pay rise issue, away from the stories dominating the newspaper headlines.
