Salary Increase
Collectively the 2 most misused words in the English language.
Most employees each year get an inflation adjustment and not a salary increase.
Often, it’s only a partial inflation adjustment depending on the individual’s inflation rate and the impact of taxes.
A salary increase could result from a promotion or a merit increase.
Recent public service adjustments certainly had an element of a salary increase but a large part of it was in fact an inflation adjustment.
Notwithstanding, as an employee, I always look forward to my partial inflation adjustment each year and I still call it a salary increase.
Old habits die hard. :)
