Median pay rises have remained at 2% in recent months, according to a new study.
Pay analysts XpertHR said its research suggested that wage awards are at the same level as this time last year, confirming a period of stability.
Wage freezes are becoming a rarity, according to the study of 33 recent settlements.
Employers in the private sector are expecting the value of pay awards to increase over the next year, with predictions of a 2.5% pay rise, said the report.

“However, many employers already looking ahead to the new year and gathering information in advance of finalising their pay budgets will be acutely aware that inflation is going to eat into the value of any employee pay rises over the coming year.”
