Pay raise advice!

@Rembrandt said in Pay raise advice!:
I'm working out the CPI to help her work out a figure and if challenged on that figure she can back it up, will also take other posters advice about checking job market and see what she could be on.
The latter will probably be the driver for her employer. CPI is a "nice to have" figure but market forces are what will dictate wages.
All of my staff are on above average wages for the job (the ones I want to keep anyway). CPI increases have little relevance to me as the staff don't leave if they have to take a pay cut to go elsewhere. They are all very loyal because of it as well. Working Saturdays is definitely an issue for all of them and is actually a reason I pay above the norm, so yes, a bargaining chip of sorts.
So basically, from an employers point of view, I think @JC has it about right.

You don't mention it but I assume she's getting double time for Saturday as per her peers?
Confirmation of that would be my starting point. Then lead into the question of a rise.
What do her colleagues earn? In my experience (unfortunately from an employers perspective) staff generally share pay rates. If she learns that she's effectively giving her Manager very little wriggle room. Coupled with a bit of research on the broader market for her role and really she holds all the Aces.
Good luck

when we do our annual rem reviews, we are asked 2 things:
1 what we'd like to see our salary move to
2 justify the pay increase
