Employee Raises Set to Rise Slightly in 2015

In yet another sign that the U.S. economy is improving, your employees can likely look forward to a slightly better raise in 2015 than this year or last. So reports Benefitspro and SHRM.

Though there is some variation among major cities across the U.S. (see the graphic in this SHRM article), average base pay is projected to go up by 3.1% next year.

But better caution your workforce that many firms and managers continue to link salary increases to performance-related metrics.
