I have some upcoming one-on-ones where compensation may come up, and I want to prepare thoughtfully. I’m thinking about asking things like: what salary range is budgeted for the role, how pay is determined when responsibilities increase, what factors influence placement within the range, and when compensation is reviewed. For those who’ve been through this, what questions helped you most? Are these even applicable to one-on-ones?

I’ve never heard questions like that apply to a one-on-one. I would say if you are wanting a raise or a promotion, you should be having very targeted discussions prior to AOP so it can be considered in the next year’s budget. Your one-on-one should cover expectations and a growth path. You should know exactly what you need to deliver in order to be considered for a promotion

Sorry I should’ve been more detailed. My boss is using some of our one on one meetings to do year end reviews and to discuss raises.

These are all very solid questions to ask in an interview. In a 1:1 for a job you already do, it’s a little different. I might focus more on a growth path and what compensation looks like for that.

There is no range budgeted for existing employees that you can negotiate like there is when first getting hired. Rasises are almost always a percentage of existing comp, and there's likely a cap that they will pay for aa given position.

Compensation isn't likely to be a topic, you should make sure that it is a topic. Come prepared with a list of the activities and outcomes that show your growth in the role, and plainly and respectfully ask for a raise based on that list.

A final point thst Ill make is that raises are typically given for the work that is already being done. If you want to ask for more responsibility because you haven't yet expanded significantly in your role, that is a very valid ask, though being willing to take on more is not grounds for getting a raise.

Thanks. We have a couple meetings to discuss my year ends review ratings and then a separate one to talk about raises. The company does a raise each year. It’s about 3%.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
