The latest IBEC pay survey (Q4 2011) found that 74% of companies will either freeze or reduce basic pay rates in 2012. While some companies will hire over the coming months, pay expectations need to reflect current economic realities; pay rises in 2012 are unrealistic.

Job protection and creation remains the priority for most businesses. This means pay restraint nationally and an unwavering focus by Government on restoring competitiveness. Companies are focused on getting costs back in line with our trading partners. This is vital if we are to restore our economic fortunes.
