Almost all employees in the private sector have seen their remuneration increase this year, the median increase in base salary amounts to 2.5%, in a context marked by unprecedented inflation and hiring difficulties, according to a study by the firm Deloitte disclosed this Wednesday.
“In 2022, median base salary increases were 2.5% for OETAMs (laborers, clerks, technicians, supervisors, editor’s note) and managers, excluding employees who did not receive a raise,” he writes. Deloitte in this annual compensation study.
“Only 7% of the holders (…) did not experience any change in their base salary in 2022 (compared to 45% in 2021)”, specifies the firm.
“Everyone Has Loosed”
These figures correspond to a “base of constant collaborators”, which makes it possible to account for a “real percentage increase”, one of the study’s authors, Franck Chéron, explained to AFP.
“Everyone was released saying + you have to increase the people +”, he commented.
The increase is 0.7 points for OETAMs and 0.5 points for executives “compared to the year 2021 in which salary freezes were fully felt,” the authors observe.
Taking into account the individual and collective variable remuneration schemes, the median increases are 3.7% and 3.0%, respectively, for OETAMS and managers.
For 2023, the projected increase budgets are 3.5% for the former and 3% for the latter, a “historically high level”, says Deloitte.
Gender equality is on the decline
Another lesson: despite the new legislative measures, pay equality between women and men is not advancing and is even shrinking, with an average pay gap of 3.7% in 2022 (3.7% in 2021 and 3.3% in 2017, date of application of the equality law). index). The difference is 2.1% for the OETAM. It is more pronounced for executives (5.0%).
In geographical terms, there is a reduction in the distance between the Ile-de-France region and the province (+4.9% in 2022 compared to +5.2% in 2021).
Finally, Deloitte points to a stabilization in the number of telecommuting days “around 2 days (per week) for all socio-professional categories combined, with compensation now paid by 50%” of companies.
This study is based on a panel of 300 companies and more than one million individual compensation data within the main sectors of activity.
