Rises on the decrease
Nearly 20% of travel staff don’t think they’ll get a pay
rise in their next salary review - but many claim a pat on the back
and a good relationship with colleagues are more important. The
findings come from the Travel Weekly Travel Industry Market Survey,
an independent survey organised in partnership with C&M Recruitment.
The survey asked 1,750
travel industry counter clerks, managers, owners and directors in
the UK their opinions on pay and working conditions. It revealed
the average salary is £25,000, and although the average last annual
salary rise was 3.1%, not everyone got an increase. In fact, 1%
of respondents saw their salary drop by 5% while almost a quarter
received no increase.
Porky pies
More than one in 10 admitted to having told a substantial lie on
their CV to boost their chances of getting a better job or more
money. Company directors were the main fabricators with 18% of them
lying, followed by agents with 13%. Of those who admitted stretching
the truth, 45% bumped up their salary, 31% lied about hobbies or
academic qualifications and 19% made their experience in the workplace
sound more impressive than it was.
