  • Nope, there is no law requiring this. There have been years where not even the minimum wage rate has been increased. In this economy, where job seekers outnumber positions 3-1, perhaps you might rethink about pushing for a raise right now. Make sure you have plenty of evidence of how you have exceeded expectations if you do decided to make this request.
  • where do you work, and at what sort of job?
  • An annual payraise would be great; however, it does not always happen... :)
  • would you be happy if noone in your company could be bothered?
  • your compensation and any increase should be based on your performance, not because it may be mandated somewhere.
  • The unfortunate truth is no... But I plan to DEMAND a raise soon. When I started here my boss (who I've known for years now from previous employment) asked me to take a $10K pay cut from the salary I made at my previous job. He promised he would give me a raise ASAP but I haven't seen a single cent more. If he refuses I will cut back my efforts and do a half-assed job. I am looking to pursue a teaching career and intend to leave as soon as I am able to anyway.
