Ask for a time and in a non-threatening, but firm, tone and setting pull out the results of your number crunching.<\/p>\n<p>1- Do others with a similar job and length of experience in the industry receive a higher salary?<\/p>\n<p>2- How about the benefits and other incomes? How does your benefit plan compare? Do you have pension or investment matching? How about education assistance or\u00a0 other similar benefits?<\/p>\n<p>3- How often does the company initiate a pay raise? Is it congruent with industry practices? How does it compare with the inflation rate?<\/p>\n<p>4- How is your performance? How much time and effort do you put into it?<\/p>\n<p>Inform your manager! Summarize and list the information for him or her politely. Make a case for yourself and prepare to negotiate. Also note that other items (flex time? extra vacation days? one-time bonus? etc.) might have value for you and be possible for your manager to award.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alighaemi.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/calculator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1365\" title=\"calculator\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alighaemi.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/calculator.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you want a raise and believe your work justifies asking for it.
