How common is it to get a promotion at your job and no pay raise?
94838
it is, according to the US Department of Labor, becoming more common than in the past. the "correct" term for a promotion that yields no increase in salary is a "Lateral Promotion."  Cute eh?!  LOL\n\nThe "upside" to a lateral promotion is that, at least in theory, you will have a better title to put on your resume when it is time for you seek employment elsewhere or to apply for an internal promotion down the road.

a raise and a promotion

Since you went from part time to full time, you may have a little difficulty asking for an increase, but you can still do it.\n\nRemind your boss that you have been working there for a full year and you would like to request a cost of living increase. Do not recommend a percentage. I have always found when asking for an increase that if you leave it open you get more than you expected. If you provide an amount, you either get that amount or a reason for being given less.\n\nTake care and Good Luck,\nTroy

It depends upon the official job offer and conditions of employment you received when you began the position.  Accoding to TX law, it is acceptable to reduce the rate of pay when an employee quits without notice IF that stipulation is know to BOTH parties up front.  You may want to closely examine your employee handbook or policy/porcedure book. typically that type of information is not really discussed with new hires, but it may be found in one of those books.

Trust me - it helps.  I did the same - right after dropping out, within 2 years I was making much more than my friends.  Several years later, my company asked me to apply for a promotion that would have meant a 40% raise.  Got turned down.  Guess why?  I'm back in school now.

Hey, if it says somewhere in writing that you were supposed to get a raise on such and so date, then yes!  Most deffinitely.    No company want to be charged with discrimination and that's what will happen if you don't get your back-pay.  Contact the better business bureua.  Also visit www.DOL.gov\nThis is the department of labor's website.  GOOD LUCK and Congratualtions on your Promotion.

Yes, they do promote from within.  However, turnover in fast food is so high that you actually do better by expressing interest in management to another company while you are currently working at one.  In fact, the best way to move up in fast food to the General Manager of a restaurant is to bounce back and forth in 9-month to 2-year stints in various fast food companies.  If you work at it, do a good job and learn how to interview well - you can be a GM in just a few years.

Asking for a pay raise might not be easy for you, just as it isn't for most. Even if you eventually muster the courage, there are no step-by-step instructions, sure ways of asking or "magic pills" that guarantee your success. However, following the guidelines below might at least increase your chances.\n\nAsking for a Pay Raise Guidelines\nBefore asking for a pay raise, it's important to know that many companies don't grant pay raises to most employees except during employee-review cycles. Additionally, many companies pay competitive, industry-standard wages, which they periodically adjust for cost of living. If you work for one of these companies and you ask for an "out-of-cycle" pay raise or more than the industry standard for your position, your chances for success are likely to be slim.\nCheck your employee policy manual (or similar document) for information related to asking for a pay raise. For example, if a policy states how to go about it, then follow it to the letter. But if a policy unconditionally states that your employer will not grant an out-of-cycle pay raise, it might be a good idea to stick it out until your next review and request a better-than-usual pay raise. Asking for such a pay raise will probably go over better than trying to buck the system.\n  \nIt's not a good idea to justify asking for a pay raise by simply stating, "I need the money." It's a much better idea to prove that you deserve a pay raise, by emphasizing your value to the company. Documenting your accomplishments is a good way to do that. For example, you might include your accomplishments in a "presentation" to show your boss, a "cheat sheet" to refer to while negotiating your pay raise, or a letter asking for an appointment to discuss it. Be specific, use examples, and include impressive things like: \nRevenue you've earned \nMoney you've saved \nCustomer satisfaction you've achieved \nTight deadlines you've met or beat \nSolutions you've implemented \nProducts or services you've improved \nInitiative you've demonstrated \nExtra hours you've worked voluntarily \n\n\nConsider asking for more responsibilities to justify your pay raise. That'll go over better than simply asking for more money, especially if your current responsibilities don't require you to do much above the call of duty and your employer thinks that you're adequately paid.\n  \nCommand a pay raise, don't demand it. For example, you might tell your boss that you'd like to know what you can do to increase your salary or hourly wage in the near future, instead of insisting on a pay raise for your past accomplishments.\n  \nThink twice about threatening to quit if you don't get a pay raise. It rarely works. No matter how valuable you think you are to the company, don't make the mistake of thinking that you're indispensable. Eager beavers willing to learn your job for less pay are almost always waiting in the wings. If you do quit later for lack of a raise, be careful what you say in your resignation letter so it doesn't bite you down the road.\n  \nHave a reasonable figure in mind (e.g., from salary surveys) and prepare to negotiate. Be nice but firm when negotiating, and don't get emotional. (Remember, it's business, not personal.) If your employer doesn't grant you a satisfactory pay raise, try negotiating concessions such as performance-based bonuses, or extra paid time off, perks or benefits. Whatever you succeed at negotiating, ask for it in writing with authorizing signatures.\n  \nFollow the chain of command when asking for a pay raise. For example, if your immediate boss is a supervisor, don't go over your boss's head to the department manager. Instead, approach your immediate boss first and let him or her tell you the next step.\n  \nA meeting is likely to be more effective than a letter asking for a pay raise. A l

Yes, in most cases. In most situations your pay grade depends on performance. However you can NEVER go below the minumum wage, if so contact your local labor board.

My raises are automatic, either annually or with a promotion, and they are based on a standard forumula with levels and market based standards for the job.  I like it that way!  I HATE to ask for money.\n\nI had a really bad experience in my last job, which was 10 years ago.  I felt that I was doing double what my manager, basically doing his management job for him, and was getting paid very little.  I went and asked for a raise, and was YELLED AT and belittled by the owner of the company.  He said "HC, I can tell what kind of person you are.  Always looking over your shoulder for another dollar and you'll never be satisfied that you're being paid what you're worth."  I found another job ASAP after that, where I'm happy to report that I make three and a half times what I was making when I left there.  They were taking advantage of me, and trying to make me believe they weren't.  That's abusive behavior.  \n\nIf you're in the market for a raise, good luck!!  If you think you're worth more, you're probably right.  Go for it, and if somebody tries to make you feel guilty about it -- don't wear it!!!

First of all, you were hired to do something.  So do it the best that you can.  Be creative and attentive.  Go beyond what is required of you.  Most of all, be good friends to your officemates.  Help around if you have extra time.  When opportunity knocks, your officemates might be the ones to suggest for your promotion.  However if you do not get promoted and you feel you are deserving, then approach your boss and ask for one.  Tell him directly that you have contributed this much to the office and your work is well appreciated by your officemates.  If all fails and you feel you are not getting the right promotion because of office politics, then I suggest you find a better work place were you can grow and develop.

The hardest part is starting the conversation about your raise. It can be uneasy and uncomfortable when it comes to discussing raises. However, if you absolutely feel you' deserve a raise (that's you feel you deserve one) then schedule a meeting. But be ready as to why you deserve one. You want proof:\n\n*Provide a list of major assignments you've worked on; especially if you volunteered to work on a project.\n*How does your role effect the company?\n*Provide copies of positive feedbacks (e-mails, letters, etc).\n*Keep a list or have a note-pad handy to write down little things you do as well. It's amazing how we forget about the little things. \n\nAs far as salary. Every company is different. But a basic idea is always good to know. Use a salary calculator:\n\nwww.salary.hotjobs.com\n\n\nGood luck.

Well, often times seniority and years of experience count more than some certifications. If you are not working for any government, then you do have the ability to ask for a raise. \nI would note that a certification might not be worth 6 years to them. Maybe 2 or 3 you might could get. So they might split the difference with you. Give you 400-600 more, maybe. \nIf you had the certification before you started working, there's not much you can argue for (You agreed to that Salary). If you got it after you started working, you might have a reason to ask for more.\nJust talk to the boss and let him/her know that you want to be a career employee and stay with the company a long time, but you feel that your skills and abilities warrant a higher pay. \nIf you can find another company that is hiring your job and pays more, that would help.\nAs for your co-workers, just don't talk to them about it. Don't bring it up. They'll probably find out anyway eventually, but that's business.

I have never heard of such a job title and I have considerable experience in human resources. One thing that is Very Obvious to me, and to others reading your question, if Your Spelling. There is a "spell check" in Yahoo!Answers - use it! Bottom line, I have always believed that it is Much Better to get a Raise, then a "job title". Next time,if you need an employment question asked, give more details of the company. A Job Description of the ?? job title is impossible to suggests, knowing nothing about your company!

Well, need to verify that you deserve one first.  Go through a check list are you so much better at your job that you are getting more done.   Have you taken on additional responsibilities.  List them or you'll forget when you're talking to the boss.\n\nIf you can't answer yes to one of those questions.  There's still a chance for a raise are their additional duties you could be doing, offer those in exchange for a raise.\n\nAlso you need to consider the possiblity that your boss doesn't give raises.  I've worked at the same job for 7 years, I haven't ever recieved a raise, and don't expect to get one.\n\nAlso consider have you learned a marketable skill or experience while being on the job might be necessary to change jobs to get a raise.  Is that an option?

I do not think that you are guaranteed a raise as far as the law goes. It has only been 6 months since you say he dropped your hours but still had the same pay so I would not push just yet. If you have good benefits and enjoy working for these people that means a lot also - very hard to find a job that you wake up everyday and enjoy going to work.

If there is no explaination, reasonable enough (you ought to look at yourself and your work thru the eyes of your employer), try to get a new job.\n\nFirst of all you must have an employment contract or an understanding therein your terms of employment will be mentioned.\n\nGo through them and ensure that you honestly evaluate each of your duties and understand clearly the requirement.\n\nIn case you conclude that you have done your bit truthfully, then look into the matter of raises and rewards as per your employment policy. In case that document has clear indication of how the reward and increment will follow and you come to know that you are not due yet then stay calm and wait your turn.\n\nIf all is ok on your side and yet you feel that there is no definite answer as to why you have not received a raise while everyone else has, file redressal and get an audience with the management. Get your point across and listen to what they have to say.\n\nIf all else fails, like I mentioned in the begining, you should already have an option or two ready to fly to.
