Ask Your Boss for a Raise in Pay

Been wanting to ask your boss for a pay raise? Follow these steps for your best chance at a raise.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look to see if you think you deserve and worthy of a pay raise. How long have you been there, are you efficient in your work, and do you do better work than your co-workers.

  2. Step 2

    Compile a list of reasons why you think you deserve a pay raise. Make sure to be able to give a good argument, practice your arguments by yourself on your own time.

  3. Step 3

    Before going to your boss try to see what your fellow co-workers who do the same thing as you make. This will give you an idea on if you think you will get the raise.

  4. Step 4

    Ask your boss for a minute of his time, I personally think Fridays are the best because it is the end of the work week and everybody is, for the most part, in a good mood.

  5. Step 5

    Start to argue, in a constructive way, not a mean way, that you deserve a raise. State the reasons, length of employment, efficiency, and durability at your work place.

  6. Step 6

    If you don't get the pay raise this time, wait a while longer, improve at your work habits, and try again a few months down the line when you have even more experience under belt.
