I took on new responsibilities - is it too late to ask for raise? GlobeBusiness
I currently work for a university where I am a salaried counsellor. I recently had to take on additional responsibilities after a co-worker left. The other counsellor who performed similar duties was then promoted, leaving me with all of her responsibilities until her position is filled. Is it too late to ask for a raise now?For conversations around salary increases, it is important to understand the difference between additional responsibilities and additional workload.
However, keep in mind that your best salary-negotiating position is when you are about to accept a job with a new employer, as you are both on equal footing at that stage. Once an employee is already on the job, as you are, you can ask for a raise at any time but the ball remains in your employer’s court.
First, let’s acknowledge that for most people, asking for a raise is right up there with fear of public speaking, and so you need to be prepared in order to deal with that stress. Sit down and develop a strong rationale as to why you deserve a bump in pay, staying focused on the new duties. Let your boss know in advance that you want to talk about a raise, as it will give him/her time to consider the reasons, both for and against.
