Pay go-slow
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ONLY a third of companies have given general pay rises this year, according to a survey of directors published today. One in five said it was the second year running of the pay freeze.
An employee's performance has become the most important factor in determining rises, the survey conducted by the Institute of Directors says.
A total of 26 per cent of directors cited performance as the most common basis for evaluating pay, against 17 per cent who mentioned the rate of inflation. 'The survey reveals a significant change in attitudes to pay,' the IoD's director general, Peter Morgan, said.
