Negotiating a raise. Real Life examples of how to negotiate a raise, from those who have negotiated a pay raise successfully.

How to negotiate a raise

Examples of how others have negotiated a raise successfully, as suggested by Hartman:

Upon taking on new duties

You: In the six months since my last salary review, I have taken over the responsibilities of Mr. X as well as retaining my own duties. Since he left the department, you turned over his accounts to me. While this additional work is challenging and I enjoy it, I believe it warrants additional compensation.

Upon promotion

Mr Supervisor: I thought getting the promotion you’ve been promised would please you. And the increase in salary is indeed commensurate with the new title. I can’t understand why you’re not satisfied. What salary would you be happy with?

You: I think you can understand better than anyone else, what raise should accompany a promotion – certainly not one that is just equal to a merit raise. I request that you reconsider what may be suitable.

Consider Fringe Benefits

In addition to or instead of negotiations for a raise, you might also want to consider negotiating for more fringe benefits. Some perks can be very valuable – consider the list below and see which ones you are comfortable with negotiating for:

Interest-free loans that can cover the purchase of a house
Spousal-assistance benefits
Health-club or gym memberships
Financial planning assistance
Additional commissions and bonuses
Cars and expense accounts
Professional dues
Time off for conferences and training sessions
Additional vacation and holiday leave
Extra payment for over time hours
Company contributions to insurance, stock-purchase plans, pensions
