Have you ever been able to negotiate your merit increase? I have not been able to do this as I’ve been told comp is locked in after it has been decided.

However, what if you state a case for a higher merit allocation? Has anyone had success with this?

I was able to negotiate a pretty significant increase last year. I think, in part, it was because they didn't want to lose me, and I hadn't gotten a raise in three years. I also made a very strong case for why they should pay me more, which definitely helped.

I've attempted it but was told that it can't be negotiated. As with you, it had already been decided. Which is pretty frustrating, because it seems like something we should be able to negotiate.

Yes, I have and was successful. Make sure you present accomplishments that impacted the company and employees positively along with proven data (if applicable) that accomplishments resulted in a cost savings.
