Finance contractors’ salaries are expected to rise for the third year running, a new survey shows.
According to a report by professional umbrella employment provider Giant Group, nearly two-thirds (66%) of contractors expect a pay increase in the next 12 months.
As the market improves, more opportunities are available to contractors in the finance sector. The gap between assignments has also closed, with 80% of contractors reporting an average gap of 0-31 days between assignments.
Only 8% of contractors report an average gap of 90 days or more between assignments, the lowest figure in two years.
Commenting on the findings, Matthew Brown, managing director of Giant Group, said: “The results paint a positive picture for finance contractors.
“We’re seeing growth in almost every area, and particularly promising is the rise in expected earnings for the third year in a row.”
