So far it works out to just under 80000 dhs per year for me including the extra provident contributions. I am currently on 30500 per month. This raise along with a comparable raise in school allowances is not to bad at all. For me to clear that kind of money in my home country would mean a raise of 160000 dhs per year to account for income tax.
Weather or not it keeps people from leaving or attracts new hires is the last thing on my mind, who cares.
Could it be more...yes, but then again if the company doubled my salary, I would soon get used to the new pay and in about six months would be asking for more. Its just the way things are.
So in the end I thank the company for the raise as it eases the monthly budget pressures and allows me to save a bit more than I did last month.
Once again Thank-you.
