It's taken a long time but I finally think I'm paid what I'm worth!  I had my salary review letter given to me this week.  

Our company has changed the way they reward staff the last two years.  I must say when I got my rise last year I was surprised that the rise on my basic salary was low (about 650 GPB when I had been getting 1000+ GBP added to my salary each year before that)!!

The company now gives a one off bonus to staff so my rise was lower this year (ie 450) but I had a large bonus.  I'm not sure if this is a good way to go or not.  

I have also been told that because I am above the benchmark they have for my role then I have to keep performing exceptionally well to get any benefit from this!  The benchmark for this year was the same as last year (ie 19,550 GBP).  I have to say with the other benefits we get flexible working, private healthcare - I think it's quite a good scheme.....
