Have done it many times and no i didn't get paid extra. I always looked at it this way..I was honored that the company thought enough of me to train someone.

I have noticed that wireless retail companies usually offer a starting pay based on your sales experience. It is also dependent on where you are geographically, so it is good you included your location. My friend is from the midwest, and the same job started out at between 7-9.00 hr plus commissions. After moving to the east coast, exact same job, it paid 16 plus commissions -I assume the difference being the cost of living. They usually do make you an offer on salary/wages before you are hired, and you have the option to negotiate or accept the offer. \n\nYou could always inquire with a current Employee on starting pay, or call a locationand speak with the manager to get the scoop. :-)

If you still want to keep your job in that company but get paid at a higher rate, you will have to lobby with your employer for this.  Either talk to him into giving you a raise or go for collective action which could mean a union.  There is strength in numbers.  Then again, you took that employment knowing how much you were going to get paid for it and from the employer's point of view, you shouldn't be complaining. You had the freedom to contract with them and accept the terms they were offering and you took it.  The other companies are strangers to this relationship so they can't do anything for you or your situation.

The agency probably quoted less with an expectation that you might come back demanding more. If you say you are not happy with even 50, they can say they will talk to the company and make themselves look good. Also possible they looked at your resume, salary history and figured you will be happy with 50. Making their clients happy is more important than making more money on one placement. Also they may have flat fee contract with the company.

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.

Hi,\n\n  First, try to get a sense of what is fair for an experienced  professional.  You may even do a quick google search and find some and ask for an estimate.\n\n  As a rule of thumb, I would think $10-$15 bucks/hr seems at the absolute high end.  When you are first starting out, the experience you get is extremely valuable, and if they wanted to pay $40+ bucks per hour, they would have hired some one with an established business.  \n\n    I would also recommend that you set up the amount immediately!  You are just setting yourself (and your brother) up for problems if you do not get things set straight and ensure every one has the same expectations.  Finally, you definitely want to have a "reference account" so if you give your first customer a good deal, they are more likely to ask for repeat business, recommend you to another company, or provide a reference.  All of these are far more valuable than squeezing a few extra bucks from your first professional gig.\n\nGood Luck,

Only of it offered really great benefits upon hire. $42 K isn't much these days, so it would really depend on what kind of experience and background you can bring to the table. If you're just starting out, that's a good rate.

You pose 2 separate questions.\n1 - Did you really underpay?  We cant answer that on this board because we do not know the facts.\n2 - Assuming you did underpay, they can force you to pay it but will probably write it off or discount it for that small sum.

I was the interviewer and the guy just kept asking "how much are you paying?" He was very qualified and I really wanted to like him, but that incessant "How much are you paying?" drove me nuts Finally I told him we were interested (stupid, stupid) and that we were offering $70,000 per year and he LAUGHED at me and said no way, no f'ing way so we said our goodbyes. One week later he was laid off from his job, was desperate for "ANYTHING" even my lowly 70K job, I told him no, he called me a B**** and it's been 2 years and he's still out of work. OH :( :(

i dont think what the company has done is right\n\nbefore you transferred they should have given you the terms and conditions, and explained that your salary might change either up or down and then its for you to accept it or decline it.\n\nit is not fair for them to just reduce your salary\n\nbut then it also depends on what type of job you might have gone for example if you went from customer services to outbound sales earning commission you would be able to make up the difference.\n\ni think that \none) you should read the t&c's in you your contract\ntwo) talk to a union represenative too 4 advice\nthree) speak to your employer

The only way that I would consider switching jobs for the same pay would be if there were other perks involved? Are the benefits better?Are the hours better? Is it closer to home? If you're just leaving one gig for the same gig then you have to be leaving to better your situation somehow otherwise, it's point less. May as well just stay where you are. Plus, you have more experience than you did when you started so where ever you go next, you should demand more $ because of what you will be bringing to the company.

So how much did you get paid for me to click on that?

Temp to hire means that if you do a good job, and they have a opening, they will hire you permanently after 6 months. It is a good way for them to "try before they buy" but for you to do the same.

I was just rehired as a seasonal employee in Colorado.  I start at $7.25 an hour.  When I previously worked there, you receive upto a $0.50 raise every six months.

I think you are going to have to ask them.  It is at the discretion of the hiring manager to decide how much you would be offered.

Your reason was very poor.\n\nWhat have you done in the last 6 years to increase your value to the company?  What are you doing today to increase the profits of your employer?  What can you do tomorrow to increase the profits of your employer?  What are you doing to improve relationships with your company's clients?  What are you doing to increase the morale of the company?\n\nAnswer those questions.. take your answers to your boss, explain those answers to him, and tell him what you believe you are worth.\n\nIf you can't answer those questions, you have a BIG problem.
