I do at the company I'm at now (going on 5 years), but never at prior jobs. Standard here is about 3%, but it can vary based on a combination of company performance, department performance and individual performance.
When I was an employee and not an independent contractor, I got a raise every year. But it was big law, and raises are pretty much lock step. Now no salary means no raise, but my firm does increase my billable rate every year, which translates to me taking home a little more per hour.
DH got a raise last year after 6 months with his new company and is under the impression that raises are generally an annual thing. But only time will tell
No. I work for the county and our union has to negotiate contracts every 2-3 years. We did get a small raise this year, but it was the first one in several years. There were no COL increases in the interim.
I have some years. It is usually tied to performance (individual and company) and has ranged from 3-15%. I have also had to ask once. You really have nothing to lose by asking. Just be sure that you list out all of the reasons why you deserve a raise.
Standard is 3% annually. In my prior department everyone got 3% (that's what's budgeted, so if someone gets 4% there has to be a 2% to offset it). My new boss doesn't go by that philosophy. I got 3.5% last year and expect that or a little more this year. I had a great performance review this week. Raises % are told in Jan or Feb and are effective March.
I don't because I'm self employed. H does. Annual pay increases are not merit-based and are usually ~2%. Housing allowance is adjusted too, but not always up. We've actually had his housing allowance reduced the last three years.
Promotions have been a matter of time in the past, but from here on are merit-based and come with bigger raises.
I have received an annual raise at most of my jobs. I got a 3% col increase this year.
Dh gets a raise, yes, if approved by Congress each year. He also gets time and grade increases, every two years he jumps up a block. This year he got promoted and jumped to the ten years of service block, combined it was a pretty big increase.
I'm a fed so it depends. For early steps in grades there are annual increases, then it's every two years, then at the end it's three until you top out at step 10. If the president and congress like us we can get COL increases but Obama hasn't been kind with those at all.
There are some ladder jobs, but that is a whole other piece.
No annual raises (state legislature has to allow it, they have voted yes once since I have been on faculty since 2008), but I did get one this year based upon getting my tenure and promotion. At 15%, the Board of Trustees has to approve your raise (so...like never). I got 14%.
It puts my base salary (without my practice component) over my SL balance for the first time. Yay for academics?
In theory, it would be yearly. But, it has to be state approved and with our budget woes, I am not hopeful for the next few years. However, I did get one last year.
Yes and no. I get a raise as per a schedule but there are only 3 steps on the schedule - this year I go from step 0 to step 1. It represents a 2.5% raise. Next year I go from step 1 to 2 and get about another 3 steps.
That's it. The only other raises I get are COL increases and I only get them if the teacher union negotiates a raise for their. agreement. Essentially admin get whatever they get (we don't have a union). They haven't had a raise since 2012 (their contract was up in August 2014, this year is technically a new contract but none exists). I doubt they will get a COL increase in this round of negotiations either.
Edit : I guess I shouldn't really call what the teachers negotiate as COL increases but what they get usually reflects the rate of inflation.
