What's the student's potential.\n\nThink about it. Is a 62% average enough for a sophomore to be promoted to the next grade?

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.

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.

Dear _______\n\nI have enjoyed working for you the past 4 years.  I have gained much knowledge and experience.  In that time I have been a loyal employee and have a good record of employment with you.\n\nMy current rate of pay is $_________ per _____.  I have not had a raise since _______.  During that time, my expenses for gas, and mileage have continued to increase, so it costs me more to do the same work for you as before.\n\nI am asking for a cost of living wage increase.  I think $_______ is reasonable.  That is only a ______% increase from what I am making now.  It is in line with what other companies are paying to someone working with my experience.\n\nThank you in advance for responding quickly to my request.\n\nI am available to discuss this in your office at your earliest convenience.\n\nSincerely,\n\nYour Faithful Employee

A lot of us are often told that to get a promotion, we have to change employers. But that may be stale advice. The opportunity to advance in your company may be closer than you think.\n\nAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of all workers with full-time jobs who are age 55 and older will grow to more than 20 percent in 14 years. Due to the sheer magnitude of this change, increasing numbers of workers will be leaving their current jobs to retire or accommodate a planned change in lifestyle.\n\nThat trend, combined with the potential for increased hiring as the economy improves, bodes well for younger, advancement-minded workers.\n\nClearly this will not happen overnight. Aging baby boomers may retire later. According to AARP, 69 percent of employees older than 45 plan to continue working past 65.\n\nBut rather than hanging on to their current jobs until they drop, real-life trends indicate that late-stage workers either are staying in their jobs longer or seeking "bridge jobs" — part-time, short-term or self-employed jobs — before they finally exit the workforce. One of the explanations for this is that older workers will seek jobs in locations and on terms that are more in line with the lifestyle they will want as they plan on how they want to life the later years of their lives.\n\nYounger workers with talent and ambition will want to keep these trends in mind and think about how to improve their promotion probability.\n\nIf you like the company you work for and the people you work with — and you’d like to move up, not out — there are some things you can do to increase your possibility for promotion while you stay put.\n\nThis advice is particularly important at this time of year because your accomplishments during the whole year are considered when you are up for an end-of-year evaluation, consideration for a bonus or a promotion.\n\nCareer advice-givers commonly preach that to get promoted, you’ll either have to leave the company for a better job; your current company must create a new position for you; or your boss must get promoted, retire or leave. They all give the same fundamental advice: To increase your promotion probability, you must learn your boss’ job and train your replacement.\n\nI’ll add my two cents: Grow your boss' business by coming up with new ways to grow revenue. A growing business can pay for expansion — and your promotion. Nothing gets more positive recognition than adding to the bottom line.

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.

When I was in first grade, another kid was promoted from 1st to 2nd after the first semester. The next year, I was allowed to go to the 4th grade class for math. Also, a young lady who was to be in my high school graduating class actually had enough credits to finish early, so she graduated with the class before us.

Make a self assessment of your work habits while on the jod. Ask yourself, have I done my job efficiently, and be honest with yourself by asking yourself if you deserve a raise.If you answer both of the above questions yes, then the best approach is to ask your boss in a direct way, pointing out why deserve a raise. Have at least 6 months on the job before doing this.

You need to explain how you've exceeded the expectations set for you when your current wage was set.

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.

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.

There are no laws regulating promotions and such.  The only way you really could even have a chance at winning a dispute this in court is if your employer had already given you a raise, you had it on your paycheck, with a stub to prove it, and then they took it away.  They've probably got you on that though because they came back on you and told you it was on a trial basis.  It would be a "your word against theirs" thing and no one would do anything about it.  If you work for a chain like Wal-Mart or something like that, you may be able to get something done about it by contacting the main office, or your district manager.  Unfortunately, you probably will have no luck with legal action.

First...don't just ask for the raise.  You need to reason for it.  Tell your boss you need an hour of their time (30minutes, whatever) and make sure you're prepared.\nTell them what you now do, b/c they might not know. (trust me, i'm a boss..i don't always know what's going on).  List the areas that have been added since you took the position, research  what you do would be paid at another institution (salary.com or otherwise search for it), talk frank about the fact that it is a lot that you've done and how much you ENJOY you're job and the people you work with, and you can boast about yourself some too (not too much, but if you've got flawless attendance, trot that pony out)\n     Have a predetermined amount that you feel would be equitable for you to stay.  If you're making $32k in NYC, that's not so much b/c your cost of living is so high.  Know what is the least amount of an increase you will accept and start well above.  The 30% earlier is a good estimate but research it and back it up.\n    Whatever you do, stay as emotionless as you can about this (ridiculous to ask but try).  Emotion isn't usually bankable, cold hard facts can make your boss more willing to listen.  Don't go throwing around ultimatums, don't do the "If I don't get paid I'm leaving" routine, b/c 9 times out of 10 you'll go.  Have a gameplan, stick to it.  If you feel that the meeting is getting out of hand or that you are getting too emotional, simply tell them that you just wanted to bring it to their attention and that time's wasting and there's work to be done.  Ask for them to just follow-up with you within a week..2 days..etc. and make sure they do.  If they don't...then they've given you the answer.\n  Bottom line...you have the job but not the equitable pay.
