- Determine the current salary: The first step in determining the level of a salary increase is to know the current salary of the individual.
- Identify the factors that affect salary increase: Some of the factors that can impact the level of a salary increase include job performance, length of service, cost of living, market demand for the job, and company budget.
- Consider industry standards: Look at the industry standards and what other companies are offering in terms of salary increases for similar positions.
- Review company policy: Check the company’s policy regarding salary increases and what criteria they use to determine the amount of increase.
- Negotiate with the employer: If you feel that the proposed increase is not fair or reasonable, you can negotiate with your employer to try to reach a mutually agreed upon amount.
- Evaluate the final offer: Once the negotiations are over, evaluate the final offer to determine if it is a fair and reasonable increase.
- Decide whether to accept or decline the offer: Finally, decide whether to accept the increase or to decline it and look for another job if necessary.
