I’m not sure what industry/line of work you are in, but I was a contract employee with the same company for 2.5 years. I requested and received a pay increase twice during that time. I based my request on increase of workload and performance. It’s worth a shot! Good luck!
It doesn’t hurt to ask and try and negotiate more. But normally contractors are hourly. So if the workload has gone up you should be compensated for that because you are working more. So I wouldn’t think that alone would be justification for an increase in your rate.
Shouldn't be any harm in trying. They're clearly happy with the work you've been doing, or they wouldn't have renewed the contract. You might not get what you're asking for, but I highly doubt you'll lose the contract for asking either.
Make points about how well you’ve been doing. What you’ve been able to accomplish in the past year, too. Give them a reason why they should pay you more.
The worst they can say is no
.Most companies cover this topic in either the initial employment interview or in the employee handbook.
Its no longer about whether you "have done a good job"
it's about company policy. CHECK IT AND SEE.
