How much do you typically receive for your yearly raise?

Why don't you ask the employees what they want?Make it so they can give you an anonymous answer to a clear cut choice like:If you had a choice between getting A or B this year, which would you pick?(a) a 10 cent per hour raise and HMO Health Insurance Benefit where you would have to contribute $25 a week and XYZ company would pay $75 a week.(b) a $1 per hour raise and a continuation of no other employee benefits.----------------These things are rather industry specific. Hourly wages in my industry are rather rare and base salaries are small part of compensation (that is, bonuses & commissions make up 50% or more of a typical persons pay). All full time employees have benefits incl. healthcare and retirement. But the answer to your specific question is that raises have been limited to Cost of Living Adjustments (3%..I think) the last three years. We did not get one this year...it is "delayed until a July review."
