If you work in Ireland, there’s a 75% chance you’ll get a pay rise this year

Fingers crossed

Hopefully your one of the lucky people who gets rewarded.

Money doesn’t buy you happiness but it does give you the ability to buy stuff that will increase your chances of being happy.

What we are trying to say is that everyone would like more money in their account, not in a greedy way, but just for more financial comfort.

That’s why a report on Newstalk will be music to your ears because 75% of Irish businesses say they expect to give their workers a pay rise in 2015.

The figures are from PwC’s ‘Irish Reward Trends Snapshot Survey,’ and they say that the figure is up from 73% in 2014, and just 63% in 2013.

The amount of the pay rise is thought to be around 2.2%, so if you earn €25,000 a year, you’ll get an increase of €550 on your annual salary.

It mightn’t sound like much but that would pay for a decent summer holiday. Good news.
