After a clear trend of pay rises in late 2010, we have witnessed contract rate increases levelling off in 2011 to date. We expect sustained pay increases however to recommence in the second half of 2011.
In the past twelve months, workers in both the Mining and Oil & Gas sectors have experienced pay rises of 10 to 20% or more. However, increases were mostly achieved during 2010 – with the first months of 2011 seeing pay remain flat (compared with December 2011) or with modest pay rises of 5% or less (especially evident for contract rates).
