So my request for salary raise is still pending....huhu

Hi mate, I does see any of your employment status here. So pardon me if I just make some assumption here. On most cases if you are a permanent employee raise in salary usually had been managed into a plan by the HR. They usually had two type of raise. One, it's the regular yearly raise if your company's doing good in business. It' targeted to keep the salary saved from those inflation. Two, it's special raised if you really doing a good job and perform brilliantly or your responsibility increased. I thought that most peoples tend to expect the second one. If so then usually the correct way of asking a raise is through your first level manager, if he approves it then usually he would forwarded the request to the second level manager. If things goes well then you will have the good news. They usually invites you to have a private chat. I do have experience while I was working with a multi-national company here some years ago. Even though it was only contractual work. I got my raise 2 times in a year which is quite something if you could say because they really feel my work is excellent.

over work and under paid is about the story of most all people now days I wish you well and I hope that you get your raise soon

You could report your issue to the department of Labor if you think you are being underpaid. You have that right if you think you are being paid for less than what should have been paid for. I did get my salary increase last month without asking for it even if our sales are dropping so I really hope they will raise your salary soon.

Seems like your company is open to salary negotiations with the employees. As to me, I don't think I can do that although I feel that I deserved some raise. In this company if you are not happy with your salary, you are free to find the employer who is willing to give you that raise that you asked for. It's hard to find a job so I guess it's better this way.

I just know that we can request for salary raise. Good for you but in the government service we can not ask. We have to wait for a law that will be passed for the increase of our salaries. I had experienced doing 3 jobs due to vacancies that arose but I have no right to complain and to ask any raise for that. Good that the vacancies were filled up. I am doing only my specific role in the office. That happened long ago and now we are facing the same situation again. We have 2 vacancies again and the central office won't allow these positions to be filled up due to some reasons. Then come the election ban, the more that these vacancies will not be filled up. By the way, I just wish for your salary increase soon.

Hi ardoy! It's a sad thing to know that you are not yet able to avail of the salary increase that you had requested. But don't lose hop my friend. You will get it in time. Just continue with your work and you hard work shall be rewarding accordingly. Just be patient. Have a great day!

It is great that your company does allow such to be when it comes to salary raises. I would say that in my previous companies though we raise our request and issues that we haven't received a raise yet for the last number of years, the company always have our managers manage the expectation of the employees and the HR group never handles such requests submitted to them. Usually raises in the companies happen across the organization so most of the time everyone who is given a raise gets is all at the same time (based on the performance documentation) of course.

Unfortunately, given the fact that your place of employment is going through some major changes right now, it could mean that you will not be getting your raise as soon as you would like to get it. In fact, it could be that there is a payroll freeze that is in effect as a result of the acquisition of the company that you are working for. As far as asking if you are going to be in the group of people that is overworked and underpaid, this is something that is happening to a lot of people now, so you really shouldn't be surprised if it is something that does happen to you.

Good thing that you made that step and initiative to make sure that you get what you deserve. Give it a couple more pay cycle then you can actually follow up form the new manager. Like I said, the worse he can do is say no. And if you asked nicely, I don;t think he will take it the wrong way. Besides, he can always check your work and the quality of the reports you turn in. He can make his own investigation if you are putting in the work that the company expects you to.

I hope you will get salary raise . Everyone who works hard deserves a strong stimul to keep up with the good work. In time of financial crisis It 's hard for any boss to make a desition to give more money so maybe that is why you havent got your extra money yet.
