IDS Pay Report

The median pay settlement was lower in the retail sector in 2011 than it was across the economy as a whole, and pay growth was relatively subdued. IDS Pay Report 1089 includes a summary of our recently-published report ‘Pay and conditions in retail 2012’.

In his Autumn Statement the Chancellor of the Exchequer called for continued pay restraint and more local pay in the public sector. Starting with figures from the 2011 Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) we look at some of the difficulties in trying to make comparisons between the two sectors.

The Olympic Park is the country’s largest infrastructure programme in recent years. Andrew Eldred, Industrial Relations Manager for the ODA Delivery Partner, spoke to IDS about the role of industrial relations in helping to ensure that the programme ran smoothly.

Our News review section includes reports on the latest pay agreements at Nissan Motor Manufacturing, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, JCB, Selex Galileo, and London Overground,

IDS Pay Report is the leading source of information on changes in pay, reward and the labour market. It enables you to make informed decisions on remuneration and reward, and provides a wealth of essential information on a wide range of pay issues. Pay Report is the only service that gives you precise data on pay levels as well as extensive news and commentary on the subject.

The fortnightly Pay Report journal provides you with in-depth analysis of all the latest developments in the field, including pay deals and trends in bargaining. You’ll also get regular overviews of the pattern of pay awards, unique case studies of change programmes, and key statistics on earnings, inflation, employment and unemployment.

The annual subscription includes access to the Pay Report online resource centre, bringing together agreements and pay structures featured in the journal, as well as other agreements and structures collected by the IDS research team. The database can be searched by organisation name, by sector or by keyword.
