5 tips: How to ask for a salary raise

It’s been 3 years since you first set foot in the office. You love your job and your colleagues love you back. You’re a consistent sales performer who clocks in 12 hours of work a day on the average. Lately, that has become 14 since you’re ‘temporarily filling in’ for a colleague who left the company 6 months ago.

Check out payscale.com, getraised.com or salaryexplorer.com, which gives a reliable breakdown of salary levels based on position and seniority. Or simply ask around. If you have skills to try to acquire information without invading privacy or breaking ethical rules, you can also benchmark your compensation versus your co-workers’ discreetly.

Is the quantity of your workload the same as the one promised to you when you signed up for the job? Or has it evolved significantly that it mimics the combined jobs of two to 3 employees? Do you suspect that the company is taking advantage of your ability to stretch additional workload? Rather, you are justifying that your current situation merits higher compensation. “A promotion is caused by an expansion of your accountabilities reflected by the company’s recognition of your readiness and merit to take on a bigger scope such as managing a team. A salary increase meanwhile is a technical adjustment of your compensation to reflect your worth based on your current job role,” explains LA Cruz, who currently serves as AVP for HR for AboitizPower.

“This helps them decide by using your first and second quarter performances as reference. Moreover, this is the time of the year when they have clear visibility if the company’s budget can still cover for a raise, assuming it happens within year,” quips Amy-Jo Onrubia, a talent manager from GlaxoSmithKline Philippines.
