Ah, but remember in the good old days you got a small pay packet in February that had to see you through March. In April the nex tax rates kicked in so you probably got short pay in April or, if lucky, a small increase. Then about May the pay rise was announced. In July you might get it with 4 months back pay. Only in August did you get a month's pay that was anywhere near normal.
Shortchanged no, but a regular amount, hardly.
