IDS Pay Report was a monthly journal providing research and analysis on pay and benefits across the UK economy. Ken Mulkearn, its last editor now edits Pay Climate a quarterly journal available from Incomes Data Research.
IDS Pay Report provided analysis of new reward systems and policy initiatives affecting HR practitioners. Detailed case studies cover topics including changes in pay progression, grading structures, work patterns and working time arrangements and total reward.
Described as ‘essential reading’ in the Financial Times and widely quoted in the media,[1][2][3][4][5][6] the regular updates provide news of all the latest pay and labour market developments and details of pay settlements and trends in pay bargaining.
The journal and online services supply the latest figures on earnings, inflation, employment and unemployment. The reasons behind movements in average earnings and inflation are reported and analysed in the context of the changing labour market.

The very first publication was published in 1966 as ‘Incomes Data Report’, which later became ‘IDS Report’ and later still, ‘IDS Pay Report’. Running for over 40 years, IDS Pay Report celebrated its 1,000th issue in May 2008.
IDS was acquired by the global legal publishing company Thomson in September 2005, which became Thomson Reuters in April 2008.
