Hello everyone, been working as a lifeguard at this company for 5 years now. I’ve been a Senior Lifeguard since January 2024. I’d like to ask for a salary increase because I feel like I’m not paid enough and I do more than some of my colleagues who have more important roles than me . I’m one of the longest serving colleagues at my company and never had any issues in my time I’ve been there with management, colleagues or/and customers. How do I go about asking for a salary increase the right way?

This is coming from an entirely different field, so hopefully someone with an EMS background will jump in, but I personally like to prepare a list of things I have accomplished in my role, my future in the position/where I see myself in the company, and do some research on salaries for the same position in the geographical area I'm in. It's obvious you have the longevity and commitment; there's no reason not to advocate for yourself and ask for a raise.

Avoid mentioning it in passing where your manager could easily shrug it off. Ask for a one-on-one. Focus on your impact, not just comparisons to others. Do market research and find out what someone in your area with your experience level is being paid. Use that to justify what kind of raise you are asking for. Sounds like you are very deserving of a pay increase, so hopefully your boss doesn't refuse.

Thanks for feedback, I’ll take these into consideration

I personally vonsider highly disrespectful to set a Master's Degree as a requisite for a position and offer an AED 3 000 salary.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
