Do agency employees typically get the 3% or so inflation salary adjustment each year? Is this across the board... because I haven't seen it for myself. Unless there's a freeze??

I don't think cost of living increases really happen anymore. Every two years maybe you'll get a 4 to 5 percent adjustment with a more significant raise if you get a big promotion. Annual? Haven't seen that in a long time even for best performers. Bonuses are for people who are either key to a winning pitch or key to a problem business not leaving.

We've been really lucky in that both my partner and I have received raises annually: the first time 20%, this time 12% (and a bonus earlier this year as well). Not posting to boast, but to say that there are agencies out there who take care of their employees, and it's ridiculous how much we all settle for being taken advantage of.

Typically 3-7% depending on performance review, absent wage freeze. But sometimes the roll out at different quarters, so if you haven't got one this year, may come end of July
