Haw can you convince your boss to give you a raise without telling him anything, without a direct request?

Definitely bring it up with your boss!!  If you handle this in a professional manner, your boss may be very impressed that you are being proactive and it will reflect well on you.  If you just wait for the money to magically appear on your paycheck, then you are not being realistic.  Money appears in your paycheck because your boss requested it, not by itself.\n\nMy recommendation is to request an appointment with your boss, preferably when you can speak privately.  Prepare a list of your duties that you had for the first 2 months in your job, and another list of the additional duties you have fulfilled for the last month since the secretary was fired.  Ask what the company has planned for the position since it's been vacant, and if they do not plan to hire anyone new, let your boss know that you are working harder than before and ask for a raise.  If they are planning to hire a new person for the position, ask for the raise to cover the period when you've been doing the extra work (the last month plus however long it takes them to fill the position).  \n\nRemember that you have nothing to lose by talking with your boss and asking for the raise.  It is completely normal to compensate an employee for taking on more responsibility, and if you're doing a good job, the boss will want to keep you and might even see this as a way to save money (pay you a higher salary instead of paying two people to do the job).  Good luck!

Do not tell your boss that she makes mistakes if you want to keep your job and get decent raises.\n\nYou would do better to suggest a different solution when you see a correctable mistake.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

I would not tell my boss. I would wait and see how long it would take for him to fire me. I'd just show up late, do nothing all day, take long lunches and go home early.

Complain to the local labor enforcement agency. It's usually listed under the State Government in the phone book. But you should have that wage promise in writing. Otherwise they can deny they ever made the promise. You might try emailing your boss to ask about it and then getting a documented response from him. Anything they say that indicates there was a verbal agreement could be used against them. That's why you should send an email. If he responds verbally, then send him an email that summarizes what he said. "Thanks for answering my question today in your office. I understand that I will be getting $X per hour starting next week. Please let me know if I misunderstood."

lol!! sure why not?? Depends on how much he would be willing to give me!! If he just came up and asked me though not mentioning any dollar amount I'd probably just do it for nothing!!

... welcome to American business!\n\nif anyone gets above a 3 percent raise... they are related to the boss... because if they gave everyone a raise that deserved it, then the CEO would only get a 17 percent raise... that's 3 percent he would be losing!\n\nbut not only that, but to keep your grade of "good" the company has decided that your productivity needs to go up by 20 percent... if it does go up by 20 percent, then you can have a 3 percent raise again next year!*\n\n * that is pending company earnings double in the next year, if they don't double, the company will be in crisis and no one will get raises

there are not any. Only the Federal minimum wage. Annual increases are up to the company. I have also learned this the hard way...get it in writing when they promise you !!!

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.

You failed to negotiate this at the outset but if you don't ask then you STILL won't get it.  You have nothing to lose by asking for "some" assistance.  Maybe asking for a "partial" allowance may make it easier for the bosses to say yes!  Check with your tax preparer on what exactly you can claim for mileage, I know that you can't claim miles to and from work (and MOST travel allowances don't pay that either), but I don't know about miles during work.

Say something like:\n\nSir, I'm sorry that you didn't think that I contributed towards the financial success of this company enough to warrant a raise.  I hope you will reconsider.  After all, I was responsible for (mention any exemplary work you performed)\n\nThen shake his hand and thank him, leave, and start looking for another job.\n\nIf you are a good employee, he will want to keep you on when you finally give him your resignation papers.  Maybe he will match or even exceed your proposed salary.  If not, then move on to somewhere where you are appreciated. \n\nYou shouldn't have to beg for a raise.  And you don't want to work for someone who doesn't appreciate you.  You will be miserable.

If it's not for profit, don't ask for a raise. Remember that the company is trying to help people less fortunate than you.  I would think it would be selfish to ask for a raise from this kind of service.  However, at a for profit job, I wouldn't ask my employer questions; I would tell him about my contributions to his company. Maybe speak on things that you're doing that your fellow co-workers are not doing. Explain that you're interested in making this a career and are trying to excel further in your endeavors.

a nice bonus or maybe a raise, since you wont be there for a bit, who else is gonna give her that well deserved raise? (unless your canning her... haha) i would stick with the bonus, nothing like fruit baskets or any cheesy crap like that, it has to be money or meaningful, anything else just makes you look like you dont really appreciate much... i dunno, you didnt have any answers when i went to answer so maybe you have a better one then this, im just rambling sorta

easy, simply slip in your bosses office tell him that you need extra cash for important things like bills, and hope that he understands. but try to say it in a nice way or you can get fired. if that doesnt work then go look for another job that pays more.(but dont quit until you get the other job)
