Asking For A Pay rise
Posted: July 31, 2009, 11:39 am by Advertise jobs
You are on the same job, but you feel that the salary you are being paid is no longer satisfactory. Do you peruse the vacancy pages in the presence of your boss to send signals so that you may be “enticed” with a pay hike to stay? Alternatively, do you discuss issues around your pay loudly with colleagues with the hope that your boss gets to hear and pick the hint? Or do you confront your boss with inflation statistics and then place a stiff demand?
Although there is no standard method of asking for a pay hike while you are on the job, there is consensus among experts that you need to adopt a sober and mature approach to requesting for one. You need to lay the groundwork first, to circumvent any possible hard stance. A way to do this is to either ensure you consistently perform above par, and therefore use this as your bargaining chip, or ask for more work followed by a request for increased salary.
Do this face to face, rather than through email or office memo. This means you need to request an appointment with your manager, and then state your case by seeking from your boss, the opportunities and options available for earning a better pay package. This approach is likely to subsequently roll out a friendly discussion, and hopefully, a fruitful one to your favour.
