Those working in marketing and digital industries and looking for a pay rise this year will be disappointed to know that according to Hays, just under half (42%) employers in those fields do not expect to give a pay rise.

The results of Hays Salary Guide Report FY21/22 also indicate that just 9% of employers will award increases of 3% and above to staff.

On the flip side, staff in the industry are expecting pay increases after a difficult 12 months which saw wage reductions, forced leave, redundancies and reduced hours.
