How would you interpret this?

When I took this job I negotiated 8% annual raises through 2013 based on meeting certain goals. I should've received the first 8% in September but didn't thanks to a merger. 

My company recently merged with another company. The new company has a min and max salary for any given position. Your place on that scale is based on merit nd experience. 

Boss says: After a salary comparison study, it has been determined that my current salary is significantly below the minimum. Over the next 2 raise periods I will have incremental raises to "catch me up".  He says he thinks I will be very pleased.

The raise pool for the majority of staff is 2.5% this year (I know this because I'm a department head and will make recommendations for my staff).

What would you guesstimate my % raise will be?

  • I would have no idea. Just ask him.

  • Was the 8% raise in your contract when you started with the company? If so, I would be talking with the person above you regarding the contract.  If not, then it looks like you will be getting whatever raise they see fit for you.  At any rate, a  small raise is better than no raise.
  • It wasn't in a signed contract, which is my own fault. I agree that any raise is better than no raise! It would just be nice for them to uphold what was originally promised. I'll find out in January.

  • Yeah- I wouldn't hold your breath for 8% but it sounds like your manager has a good head on their shoulders and is trying to make sure that everyone is getting paid fairly.

    Good luck and I hope you get the results you are hoping for!
