Salaries – 2025

Latest budget – I’m being asked about salaries, salary expectation, from both candidates and clients, in the Optical field, what will next spring bring?

When you have to pay minimum wage to a new starter with no Optical experience, what are you paying the staff that have been with you for a couple of years, or 7 years ?
How fair are you being to loyal staff, what are they being paid. Do you start to pay bonus for individuals that go the extra mile…
Having four members of staff – paying minimum wage, NI, Stakeholder Pension, not much change from £110K and that’s not including any Bonuses paid…
Lots of changes afoot, I can see that next March – May, there will be quite a lot of redundancies – cutting back of staff, especially in the retail and customer service industry… Every member in every team will have to justify their role…
