Updated to include the Brightmine pay settlement data for the three months to the end of April 2025. Brightmine will publish the next pay figures on 25 June 2025.
The latest Brightmine analysis shows no change in the direction of pay awards in 2025. With April being the busiest month of the year for pay awards, the pattern of pay deals is becoming clear for 2025.
Pay settlement levels remain stable across the first quarter of the year, with more of the same predicted as we head into the most common month of the year for pay awards to take effect.
How transparent are UK organisations about pay? Our research explores this question, examining salary disclosures in job adverts, internal practices, and the potential impact of the EU Pay Transparency Directive on UK employers.
With pay gap analysis back in the spotlight, our research examines current practice in UK organisations - including employee data collection and types of pay analysis undertaken, as well as employer readiness for ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting.
