With eyes on compensation plans for the coming year, another report is painting a picture of where employers are with pay raises in 2024.
The vast majority of senior finance leaders (71 percent) plan to give raises of at least 4 percent in 2024, according to a new survey of chief financial officers (CFOs) by Gartner.
In most areas, those raises would outpace inflation, which recently has hovered just above 3 percent, according to government figures.

That's according to new data by Mercer, which found that U.S. employers reported 2023 annual merit increases have averaged 3.8 percent, while total compensation—which includes merit awards as well as all other types of compensation increases impacting base pay, such as promotional, cost-of-living and minimum wage—increased by 4.1 percent.
