Asking for a pay raise 3

In my last post, I asked a question regarding good performance which is not compensated with an increase in salary. What should an employee do in such a situation? I consulted 3 specialists about this theme and each gave me a different response.

     The first told me that the employee should first check the financial situation of the organization. If the condition is good, he or she can then ask for an increase in pay. On the contrary, the employee should not ask for a raise. The second specialist told me that the employee has the right to a raise if the performance is good. Therefore, the employee should ask for a raise if the organization did not offer that.

     The third specialist informed me that the employee should not ask for a pay raise, but should look for another place to fulfill his desire. The specialist emphasised that if the employee thinks he worths more, he should look for this compensation outside the present organization.

     Which of the three advice do you accept? Give your comments!

Asking for a pay raise 2

Do you think you are receiving less than what you worth? Are you demotivated because of your pay? Do you think people in other companies performing the same functions are earning more than you do? How would you then proceed to ask for a pay raise? 

     There are two schools of thought regarding this topic. One school of thought says an employee should make his or her desire known to the boss while the other says an employee should not request for that. The first opinion argues that an employee should express his desire if he works in a small company. The reason is that small organizations generally forget about the issue and reminding them will be beneficial to the employee. 

     The second school of thought justifies its opinion of not requesting for a pay raise because your pay is tied to your performance. If your performance is good, your salary will automatically be good. This school of thought emphasizes that big companies generally use performance evaluation to compensate its functionaries. 

     But, what happens if your performance is good but there is no change in your income? Watch out for what specialists say about this!

Asking for a pay rise

The issue of salary is always a hot, but subtle topic to discuss about in any organization. Everybody wants to receive big salary. However, no one wants to talk about openly. To worsen the situation, some employees think they are not receiving enough and this keeps them demotivated. The question asked by many is: how should an employee ask for a pay raise?
