Asking for a pay rise
Asking for a pay rise
Asking for a pay rise. How do you justify your value and get a concrete decision from your employer?
Your responsibilities have grown, you deliver good results or your salary no longer matches comparable roles. But how do you ask professionally for a higher salary, and what do you say when your employer says there is no budget?
FOREFACT researches how to prepare, justify and negotiate a pay rise with your current employer in the Netherlands.
What will you discover in this research?

How to decide on a concrete amount and choose the right moment.
What to say to objections such as ‘no budget’, ‘you are paid in line with the market’ or ‘we will look at it later’.
How to compare fixed salary, bonuses, holiday days and other terms of employment.
How to put agreements in writing and when further negotiation is no longer wise.
