Average wage deals held steady at 2.5% in the three months to the end of July, according to Incomes Data Services (IDS).
The employment analysis service said that median awards have remained the same since the start of the year but noted that settlements in the lower quartile rose from 1.5% in the three months to June to 2% in the latest analysis period.
