There is a good chance that the trigger index will be exceeded, albeit by a hare’s breath, before the end of the year. That’s according to the latest forecast from the Federal Planning Bureau. If this were to be the case public sector employees would see their salaries rise by 2% in March. If the trigger index were to be exceeded before the end of this month it would be bad news for the Federal Government as they intend to cap any index-linked pay rises resulting from the trigger index being exceeded in 2026 and 2028.
