There is obviously a difference of opinion between you and your superior.

So, what should you do about iI? Compile a fact sheet to present to your boss.

Some of the issues that should be included are:

How long has it been since your last raise?

Have you demonstrated that you are a team player?

Do you produce or exceed the amount of work expected of you?

What are the ways in which you have contributed to your company’s success? Do you show up for work on time and do you spend the hours on your job that are expected?

Have you brought any new ideas to management that can make your company more competitive?

After presenting and discussing your fact sheet, ask your boss if a raise should be given now. If not what other efforts will be expected of you in order to earn one?

If not today, when?
