I have my performance review coming up and I want to ask for a raise. I’ve had a great year and made several valuable contributions. I’m graduating with my bachelors degree in Dec and think I truly deserve the raise. The thing is, my employer does not give raises just for completing a degree! I would have to promote to an open position for any kind of pay bump other than the crappy annual merits, which sometimes don’t happen. Should I stay and see what happens or try and move on for higher pay?

Organisations have to justify pay increases do start there. What have you done that has made money , saved money or saved time for their customers, departments or organisation as a whole. What are the projects that you have mad a quantifiable contribution to that has affected the company’s bottom line or solved a major issue?

What else have you done to show your problem solving skills.

Make a list and use it as a lever to open up discussions about your pay.

Best of luck

I'd suggest making your argument for the raise focused on yourself and your progress in the position. Getting the degree is great, but it doesn't really do much for the business. However, if you can show how you've become a more productive and more valuable employee over the past year, you can make a good case for yourself. You're a better employee than you were when your salary was set, so you deserve a bump up. Weave that theme into it.

How did it go?

Getting a degree didn’t prove your actual work. So, base it on your accomplishments there and apply what you learned from your degree. I’d always try to see what happens. It gives confirmation on how the company values me. But up to you! If you don’t care for the company, move on.

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise or some other form of compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions or wording on how to address this?
