Is it required by law for your employer to give evaluations and raises each year?
I have almost been at my workplace a year and was told by a co-worker that last month one employee was told that raises were ceased because of financial reasons. I need a raise to pay for increase in cost of living and gas prices and was wondering if he has to.

Sorry, but not unless mandated by law.. The only folks mandated by law are usually government employees, or civil service workers (teachers in disadvantaged areas?).

This doesn't mean you can't ask for a raise! Polish up you resume (just in case) and get a feel for what your worth at a site like salary.com. Once you prepped ask the boss to discuss it and illustrate what benefits you have brought to the company. A lot of times, even if raises can not be give, you may still be able to get a bonus.

As a last resort, get the resume out and see if you get any good offers. If you do, take it to them once more and see if it can be matched before you submit your 2 wks notice.

no. unless you have a contract that states you will receive regular raises, its completely at your boss' discretion to pay you anything above minimum wage.


Wonder
Almost all states have what's called an "at-will agreement". They can fire you at any time and you can quit at any time. Obviously their are rules that dictate when someone can be fired. As a result, there are very few rules companies must follow (unless the employee is a member of a union.)

Try talking to your boss.

No. Neither is required unless it's in writing. I work for a very small company and we NEVER have evaluations. We get raises at the whim of the owner, which is less than once a year.


jjjosh911
no he does not have to


Stuart
Nope.


Java
not required by law


smile2besweet
Not required by law at all unless, min-wage was increased. However, look at the contract you signed when you were hired. If you don't have a copy...ask to see it. If it states that your get a pay raise...no matter the cut back they have to give it to you.

Look for a different job, because unless you're in a union with a rule about when you get a raise then there is not a single law that says you will ever get one. Unless your boss gives every male worker a raise and no female workers, or all the workers of one race or somthing like that then there still no way to get one, even if a few people get a raise and you don't. As I said, look for a different job.


Moondog
No. That is at the option of the employer.

if it is, we've all been jipped!


Eternalsilence
Sadly no! Unless you have a union contract that stipulates wage increases.
I'm with you hun, where I work we all thought we would get a raise this year because of the increase in the cost of living, but NO. = ( They made up a silly excuse as to why no raises. Maybe for the company it was legit, but my bills don't understand. ; )


Stormfairie
read your work manual.... all the rules (about workplace rights) should be in there and posted in the office also...

No you are not guaranteed a raise. There is no law except for minimum wage. It's up to the company.
