According to LRD, the median negotiated pay increase in the three months to April 2010 was 2%, with pay freezes forming only 17% of pay settlements. One quarter of private pay deals were being agreed at 3% or more. For the whole economy pay freezes made up 16% of settlements, the first time this proportion has dipped below 20% since August 2009. “While we may not have seen the back of pay freezes just yet, there is likely to be greater pressure on all employers to settle for a positive increase as pay medians begin to rise”, said LRD’s pay and conditions researcher Lewis Emery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: LRD Press Release; \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C!-- [if gte mso 9]>\u003Cxml>\r\n \u003Co:OfficeDocumentSettings>\r\n  \u003Co:AllowPNG>\u003C\u002Fo:AllowPNG>\r\n  \u003Co:PixelsPerInch>72\u003C\u002Fo:PixelsPerInch>\r\n  \u003Co:TargetScreenSize>1024x768\u003C\u002Fo:TargetScreenSize>\r\n \u003C\u002Fo:OfficeDocumentSettings>\r\n\u003C\u002Fxml>\u003C![endif]-->\u003C!-- [if gte mso 9]>\u003Cxml>\r\n \u003Cw:WordDocument>\r\n  \u003Cw:View>Normal\u003C\u002Fw:View>\r\n  \u003Cw:Zoom>0\u003C\u002Fw:Zoom>\r\n  \u003Cw:Compatibility>\r\n   \u003Cw:BreakWrappedTables>\u003C\u002Fw:BreakWrappedTables>\r\n   \u003Cw:SnapToGridInCell>\u003C\u002Fw:SnapToGridInCell>\r\n   \u003Cw:WrapTextWithPunct>\u003C\u002Fw:WrapTextWithPunct>\r\n   \u003Cw:UseAsianBreakRules>\u003C\u002Fw:UseAsianBreakRules>\r\n  \u003C\u002Fw:Compatibility>\r\n  \u003Cw:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser>\u003C\u002Fw:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser>\r\n \u003C\u002Fw:WordDocument>\r\n\u003C\u002Fxml>\u003C![endif]-->\u003C!-- [if gte mso 10]>\r\n\u003Cstyle>\r\n \u002F* Style Definitions *\u002F\r\n table.MsoNormalTable\r\n\t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\";\r\n\tmso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;\r\n\tmso-tstyle-colband-size:0;\r\n\tmso-style-noshow:yes;\r\n\tmso-style-parent:\"\";\r\n\tmso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;\r\n\tmso-para-margin:0cm;\r\n\tmso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;\r\n\tmso-pagination:widow-orphan;\r\n\tfont-size:10.0pt;\r\n\tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\";}\r\n\u003C\u002Fstyle>\r\n\u003C![endif]-->\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">http:\u002F\u002F1.lrd.org.uk\u002Fukassets\u002Fimages\u002F334\u002FPayroundanalysisfromWorkplaceReport.pdf\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cem>\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\">This article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
