Last year, 63 percent of employees received a salary increase or some kind of extra allowance due to their increased expenses, this year only slightly more than half of them expect the same. Now people believe that the value of the increase will fall short of their expectations.

In a nationally representative survey of more than a thousand employees by Profession.hu, 55 percent of the respondents believed that in 2023 they could expect their employer to compensate their increased expenses in some form. 49 percent of them expect a salary increase, 7 percent some kind of regular benefit, and 9 percent a lump sum benefit this year. Those who do not have a full-time job, have a low education, or work in the state administration trust in extra recognition at a lower than average rate.
