As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A clear beat can support sterling if it points to stronger wage pressure and a slower BoE easing path.

Below the forecast: A miss can weigh on sterling if it suggests pay growth is cooling, especially when the ex-bonus measure also slows.

In line with the forecast: Sterling usually moves little if the figure matches expectations and regular pay growth is unchanged.
