Generally, I would not recommend asking for a raise unless you have been working there for at least a year.

I would not ask for a raise. I would however thank them for recognising the importance of my contribution to this company and for offering you permanent employment. After that I would inform them of my salary need and let them decide if they are going to pony up the duckets. They will respect you more because they will see that you have a better grasp on your needs. Good job.

I would schedule a meeting with your immediate supervisor.  Bring accomplishments, goals you have met, the last raise you recieved, if you do more than just your job, and any other notes you may have to the meeting.  Most people ask for a raise about once a year.

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?

Write a letter and inform them that you have just received a better offer.  Thank them for their hospitality and time and wish them well in finding a suitable alternative person to fill the position.\nA good manager will not fault you for bettering your situation and will be gracious for you notifying them in a timely fashion.  Many others just wouldn't show up and that really leaves a bad taste.

You would have to check the employee handbook for your company.  In my company, if you are not working due to a Worker's Comp claim during the annual raise, you would not get that raise until you return to work.  I would check with HR for details regarding your company.

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!!!

i got a 15% increase once hired on full time. You can discuss salary with them. Your current company doesnt now what u get paid. find out what people in your position get paid and work from there. Salary has to be discussed when going permanent.

You should not counter offer them. Asking for more than 25% raise wouldn't give them good impression of you. (If that is what you mean by counter offer) If you want to stay where you are at, (make sure the offer is genuine) tell your current employer you got 25% raise at the other company. If they really value you, they should at least try to match. If they don't, you can still leave.

ask for a raise and discuss this in a civil way with your boss.does you boss realise you are doign most of the work? may be you are too soft and cant say no so you tend to be walked over?

I think the situation would be the same in your arena as in mine (hospitality industry - small town - avg monthly pay about $800.00).  First, need to find if these changes are being done exclusively by your boss or manager or whether it's being dictated by higher up.  If it's your boss or manager, request a meeting, have a presentation ready to back up your views, and have alternatives available for discussion.  If it's higher ups, request a meeting with your boss and discuss if he's feeling a decline in productivity and discuss your views to see their reaction, then find out if there is any way of making a presentation for the higher ups to discuss alternatives.\n\nIn our situation, employee moral is flagging, we've had staff quit, then restart to force fifty cent an hour raises they had been promised, slackness in attention to detail, even one instance where I had been asked to work a shift and the person originally scheduled also in, and when they checked with the office, found the manager unavailable, but his name had been scratched from the schedule - no forewarning of dismissal.\n\nEven though the manager is taking their cue directly from owner, after I made presentation, it took 3 weeks to get a response, and where she originally indicated she would consider anything to help resolve the situation, it was pretty much that she didn't pass it on, and that I should spend more time concentrating on work and less on improving conditions.  Just be prepared that your suggestions might not be taken in the spirit being offered.

The best time to ask for a raise is when you have just completed a difficult task to your boss's satisfaction.  In other words, when you know he/she appreciates the great job that you've just finished, ask to speak privately to him/her and go for it.  Good luck. Timing is everything.

Well the best thing to do is keep a diary of the extra work you have done.  When your diary satisfies you, show him it and ask for a raise.  Tell him, I am able to do two jobs at once and after working hard for this company I am hoping to get a raise.  Because if you ask for less responsibility, they might disrespect you.  But you sound like your being pushed over.  So keep the diary and then hand it to him/her.

Situations like these can be tricky. One doesn't want to be pushy and be adamant that they want more than what was offered but at the same time if that is done it could prove beneficial to you in the end when you walk away the winner in the salary negotiation.\n\nMy honest suggestion would be to take the $12.00 per hour and hope that the raise may come soon. Most times employer give new staff members probation periods to prove themselves and when that time has expired, if they are satisfied with your work, you end up getting a raise. Good luck.

Where can I get an application for this job?  ... Step into my office, we'll discuss your raise!

I appreciate when my employees are up front with me.  If they have been working hard and deserve a raise, I don't hesitate.  On the other hand, if I have an employee who doesn't show up on time and leaves early, no chance.\n\nSo if you feel like you deserve a raise, be confident when asking and you will be rewarded.

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
