i think the most important aspect is to play on your strenghts at work.Also keep in mind that your boss would have been asked about a salary hike by many people before you and so he is used to the pitch.Therefore the idea is to keep it unique and substantiate your request with your strenghts and at the same time hint your boss about the prospect of him losing you as a performer!!he will then listen. what you then get is what you negotiate.Remember that your boss also would happen to do the same exercise with his boss!! so go in with a purpose and not as if seeking a favour!
Dear All, there is no ideal way of asking about the salary increment, what has been told to you in article is one behavioral aspect and it will not be acted only on that day but every working and non working day of your life. More than the way it depends on the type of company in which you are working, financial situation, verbal policy (not written one) of employer and thoughts of employer towards you. (It includes your worth to company and employer, behavior, contribution and so many other factors
Increment is must in any organisation, without these, nothing can be done to prograssive manner. Increment means not in slary hike-up but in all ways sales, production, capacities to boost to new ventures, thefore the national captial is also increased. Per capita income of a person depend on his expense against acutual. Managment shall be considered to re- think its prevaling policies and maintain upto data on prodata basis. Without asking or wirting a increment request letter to Management, Management would have worked out to declare its % of increment on scale wise/promotion wise/ designation wise to the sole dicreation of the Managment.
the article is good ,but i think it is based on profit centre based job like sales but what for accounting jobs , you cann't pinpoint the actual achievement when you are working as a team of accountants .
