what is a normal pay range for your position and years of experience. Present this information as evidence that you deserve a raise.

  1. You don’t “tell” HR to do anything. Human Resources is a very regulated industry and they have to balance organizational needs with adhering to the law.
  2. In most companies of my experience, raises are granted by your supervising manager, while HR simply administers the payroll.
  3. If you deserve a raise, gather the objective evidence of your current value contributions to the company and potential for additional contributions, along with research into what is a normal pay range for your position and years of experience. Present this information as evidence that you deserve a raise.
