Q. I love my job but I really want to be paid more money. What
should I do?
A. This is actually a common question many people have. Most
companies have a formal review process where your manager will
review your salary periodically. This is usually done once a year,
but your company may review more or less frequently. You can consult
your employee's handbook or speak with someone knowledgeable at your
company to find out if such a policy exists.
If your company doesn't have a formal review policy, it is
certainly appropriate for you to ask your manager to review your
performance and your salary.
If you have had your review but are still unhappy with your pay,
think about what you can do above and beyond your normal duties that
would help your company achieve its objectives. You can then
approach your manager and ask whether they would consider giving you
a bonus if you are able to achieve that objective.
