Recent media reports and surveys suggest that salary is no longer employees' top priority. But working people still attach importance to receiving remuneration commensurate with their skills and professional investment. Especially as many feel that they are regularly underpaid by their current employers.
In fact, 40% of the 34,612 working people questioned as part of ADP Research's “People at Work 2024” survey* say they are frequently confronted with payment errors. Executives are particularly likely to say they are “often or always” underpaid, whether they are middle management (24%) or senior management (28%), and this is due to the many hours of unpaid overtime they work. According to them, 37% of respondents spend between 6 and 10 hours a week working for free for their boss, which corresponds to at least three full days a month.
