For contract workers: is it typical to get a pay raise after renewing your contract? My 1 year contract is about to end soon, and my manager mentioned he wants to extend it for another year.

Why don’t you ask for a permanent position instead another 1 year contract ? Seem that need you.

Why there is not open posible if they clearly need you ? I would push them for the position.

You need to treat this as a B2B negotiation; you are not an employee.

As someone who regularly manages contracts and contract workers, if they are not asking for an increase I’m not going offer one. I am not going to offer a rate increase to a service provider…

Think of it this way; would you offer to pay more to renew your cell phone contract?

You need to understand the market for your services, the value you are providing, what leverage you have, and negotiate accordingly.

I just had this conversation with my boss. He said this negotiation would have to be done with the contracting agency ...

Anyhow, my reason for requesting a raise is sound. Since I'm being hired on a new contract, I should be compensated for the 1 extra year of experience I'm bringing. It's not much, but something still.

Genuinely trying to help you here…

You’re a service provider and need to talk about the value you provide and understand your leverage. Period.

I have contractors with 5 years of experience that have higher rates than contractors with 10 years experience because of what they bring to my team.

You’re a contractor. Another year of experience is irrelevant - how are you providing increased value?
