After several years of steady growth, wage increases slowed in 2020 due to the coronavirus epidemic, according to the Deloitte annual salary study, published on Tuesday.

Between January and June, the firm studied the salaries of nearly one million people from 300 companies across different industries, company sizes and geographic locations.

The gender pay gap is stagnating

It emerges that the salary increases in 2020 were "of the order of 2% for OETAM" (workers, employees, technicians and supervisors) and "2.3% for executives", according to a press release from consulting firm.

In 2019, wage increases were 2.4% and 2.8% respectively, recalls Deloitte.

However, this slowdown has only a "moderate impact on purchasing power due to contained inflation over the same period", qualifies the study.

The pay gap between Ile-de-France and the regions and that observed between SMEs and large companies, on the other hand, remained stable over one year, just like that between women and men which "stagnated" at 3.4% in average.

Falling premiums

"Faced with economic uncertainty, the cautious measures taken by companies risk further widening the gaps already observed, including between women and men," notes Deloitte.

If the fixed part of the compensation has not decreased, the situation is different for the variable part.

Thus, the bonuses paid to executives are down in number of beneficiaries and in amount (average decline of 6.2% compared to 2019).

The exceptional purchasing power premium, sometimes called the “Macron premium”, was adopted by “23% of participating companies (compared to nearly 60% last year)” and its median amount fell by almost 30% to 327 euros in 2020, also indicates Deloitte.

As for the salary increase forecasts for 2021, they are "cautious": + 1.5% for OETAMs, + 1.7% for executives, "breaking with the dynamics of salary development that we have experienced in these previous years. years ”, underlines the cabinet.
