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.
Updated to reflect changes to Hong Kong’s minimum wage, effective from 1 May 2025, and to include additional information on rules in France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Philippines and South Africa.
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.
