The June 2026 issue contains a detailed look at the main provisions of the Employment Relations Act, especially those that relate to pay setting. With inflation likely to rise as a result of war in the Middle East, we present economists’ latest take on the outlook for this key indicator. HR practitioners should be interested to see that we feature results of our survey of their salaries, alongside those for engineering workers. All this and our regular analysis of trends in pay awards, the state of the labour market, analysis of average earnings growth and changes in consumer prices.
