Salary review and the Market value
Salary is always an important part of the job so the majority of the owners or managers carry out salary review as an important element in the assessment of the employee’s performance. This is the most excellent opportunity to speak up for more pay. A number of companies or managers at times put forward a salary assessment of the employee in the first six months.
A lot of employers separate the salary review from performance review, for the reason that one is an assessment and other one is a negotiation between the employer and employee. But at times both are combined together to make perfect results for both the parties. Well established companies set their financial plan according to the changes made in the salaries of the employees. Most of the time the salary varies according to the performance of the employee. On the other hand there are some departments in the companies where salaries get huge raises; usually those departments are HR or IT. But somehow owners at times do give better raise to other employees as well.
A lot of employers pay close to the existing market rate to keep hold of the best hardworking people in their company. One should explore the market value for the post really well before applying anywhere for the job and check out the usual raise of someone of the same post in the industry before setting up their own salary review according to that one could get the best for themselves whenever they apply for the job. However if you are new to all this, then don’t lose hope if you are getting underpaid – there is always as way to go up and sharpen your skills for the post. And through hard work one can bank the expected salary they are looking for.
Nowadays, the person who hires someone for the company has access to a lot of data regarding the salaries and has sound knowledge about the market value of the post which is slightly difficult for new individuals looking for a job in the business world. A number of companies voluntarily share the data with their employees just to have a healthy and open discussion with the employees regarding the salaries. If someone has a good knowledge of the current market and has all the current data about it, then they could end up having a good deal in their favor. It will be favorable for both the parties.
There are few things that a person should keep in mind – the salary is most of the times associated with the performance of the employees. The employer will always measure up your performance by the end of each year to see if an employee really deserves to have a raise in the current salary – here the salary review plays an important role. The present market value of the job always counts a lot. It doesn’t matter if the reviews are encouraging or a bit off-putting; one should always speak in a positive way in order to stay away from any kind of miscommunication with the employer.
