Yearly Reviews

[starfighter]

I worked in small office of about 15 people a good few years ago. Everyone did pretty much the same job but were all on individual salaries. One day people got talking about what they earned and it turned out that one of the longer serving members of staff, a young quiet girl, earned quite a bit less than everyone else. In fact she earned less than my starting pay a few years after she had already been working there. Once this was discovered, we had to almost force her go to see her/our boss about this (she almost didn't dare ask). She emerged from the boss' office a short while after with a fairly big pay rise just by asking. About 30% from memory.

Yup, a bit like our place, They say this stuff about how you can work your way up the company but the thing is whenever they get external applicants in they always pay them more. To justify my wage I just say I know how much work x does and that x also earns more money for the same or less work. So I should be on the same or I'll do you for sexism or something.

I kind of have a banterful relationship with my boss so it is all good, but he can be annoying at times.

Woohoo!

Got my payrise and probs. one of the best reviews I've ever had

Didn't have to mention a payrise as my boss mentioned it first - was a bigger rise than I thought. Chuffed

That's not how it works. You should be meeting your targets. The reward for doing your job is being paid a salary. Pay increases normally come when you bring in additional skills not to be confused with how hard you work and meeting your targets.. This is why i say get on as many courses as you can and expand your skills. You are then more marketable which can be adjusted as RDM states above.

It really depends on what your job is. I get paid a healthy base salary then extra for all the objectives I meet.
