The latest analysis of pay settlements from IDSPay.co.uk shows that the median settlement level for whole economy in the three months to November 2011 is 2.5%. A small increase in the number of pay awards at and above 2% recorded in the private services sector has contributed to a rise in the median award for the wider economy.
