Many
Philippine companies may be giving their employees a yearly salary increase but
it seems that majority of the workers are not satisfied with it.
If you are a regular worker in a Philippine company
that receives yearly salary increase and are satisfied with the raise, be
grateful and count yourself lucky because apparently, not all employees in the
Philippines enjoy this privilege. This conclusion is based from the result of
an informal survey conducted among site visitors of JobOpenings.ph,
a site that features employment opportunities in the Philippines. The survey
was also asked among the members of its Facebook community.
In the survey entitled “Do you get salary increase
every year,” the answers of the respondents are almost even with 57% answering
Yes, they do get a yearly pay raise and 43% said No.
However a discrepancy is seen when those who answered
“yes” are further asked if they are satisfied with the yearly raise their
company provides. Apparently 69% of those who are given an increase are not
satisfied with it as only 31% answered Yes. Majority of these respondents said
that their salary increase by 5 to 10 percent and it is mainly based on work
performance.
When asked what they think is the appropriate
percentage for salary increase, majority answered that it should be from 20 to
50 percent. Most of the respondents are employed full time (89%) while only 11%
are employed on a part time or freelance basis. Ninety-two percent are working
for private companies while only 8% are employed in government offices.
This
informal survey was conducted among site visitors of JobOpenings.ph from
November 13, 2012 to January 24, 2013.
