FACTORS AFFECTING SALARY
Your initial salary will be influenced by
your education and training, company size, and salaries for comparable positions. To ensure
a fair starting salary, talk to people in similar positions and research salary levels.
In addition, make sure you clearly understand company procedures and policies for
raises. In recent years, increased emphasis has been placed on team results for salary increases
and on rewards for expanded learning.
Performance quality and work responsibilities are the main influences on salary advances.
Meet regularly with your supervisor to obtain performance evaluations and suggestions
for professional growth. Communicate your desire for increased work
responsibilities and greater financial rewards. Meeting and exceeding organizational expectations
will usually result in salary increases.
