"Why do I find it worrying that an employer should be asking the forum what he should pay his staff?"
Have to say I find this statement worrying. I am asking what the BAJR/IFA rate should be not what the pay rise for my staff will be. That is a matter purely for them and me.
As for the notion:
"Further, well run businesses should also be factoring further price increases in wages as well as other general rises in business expenses (not telling anyone out there how to suck eggs!)."
On some dba contracts a 1.5% price difference is the difference between winning and losing the contract. A price increase of say 5% to cover a 3% wage increase that your competitors don?t implement will make a major difference.
