How To Get A Raise

The first thing to do to get a raise from your employer is to deserve it. This should go without saying, of course, but it is amazing how many employees think that time on the job is enough reason for a raise. So if you haven't been doing a great job, start now, and do so for a while before asking for a raise.

Now, once you deserve a raise, don't expect your boss to notice that or think of it himself. You will most likely have to sell him or her on the idea. To do that, you should be fully prepared. Start by finding out what others in your position make, and how much of a raise some of them have received. If you are in the United States, you can also go to the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau Of Labor Statistics website at http://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm to see what various jobs pay on average around the country.

Make your request realistic, not just based on national norms, but on what people in your company get paid. Aim a little high, so the boss can negotiate your raise down to what you hope to get. Know what you want before you ask for a raise. Are you also seeking a better position or benefits?

Once you have an idea of how much you will be asking for, prepare your case. Make a list of the things you have accomplished for the company. Link these to some measurable increase in profits if possible, or make a reasonable argument for how they add to the company revenue. Be very specific, and don't stretch the truth. Your point is to show that you are valuable to the company and that you know you are.

Now plan the timing of your request. You don't want to ask for a raise when the boss is in a bad mood. If you have easy access to the supervisor who will make the decision, just wait for a noticeable good mood and ask to speak with him or her. If an appointment is necessary, plan it for a time when the supervisor won't be too distracted. Late afternoon, when lunch is past and work is caught up may be best.

Know what your options are and what you are willing to do according to the response you get. For example, in my working days, I got what I wanted by a threat to quit more than once, but perhaps only because I really intended to quit. Bluff and you might lose a job you want to keep. Consider what you will say and what you will do if the boss says no, or offers less than you want. Will you wait and bring it up again in a couple months? Will you look for other jobs? Can you risk mentioning this job search?

Be prepared if you want to get a raise.
