This is not for me...for a friend...I have my own employment questions I have posted & will be posting later...so please don't be confused by them.
He's going to see HR today & would like to negotiate a higher pay rate. How should he go about doing that...what's the "normal" increase from temporary to permanent?
Thanks!
PS*** I asked this yesterday, and I think peole thought he meant he was on his probation period already hired with the job. He is NOT. He is working as a temporary, getting hired on.

If he was temporary and going to be permanent now i think that it is only right that they increase his salary without him asking for it. But i don't advise that he do it himself right now. It might just make a bad impression. He can ask question pertaining to his new salary without hinting that he wants a raise.

As a temporary, the company pays a salary to him, plus the fee to the temp agency. Thus you can see that the company can afford this new employee.
Your friend should be asking for a starting salary, not a "pay raise". This establishes that he intends to become a viable, successful member of the company and has the potential for promotion, pay raises down the road.
Without knowing the job and area, I'd first look at the total amt the company is paying for him as a temp. Is that a good enough starting salary? Don't forget, he should be getting benefits too.
From someone who negotiated a higher pay rate as a temp. I made myself a productive, vital member of a law firm. All new temps coming in got that new pay rate too. It was great...

He needs to market his skill set. Use this as justification for higher pay and hopefully he knows the market regarding his job and what it pays.
The diplomatic approach works best here. I would suggest a comment such as.
I appreciate the fact that you are offering me full time employment and I enjoy the work and know I am good at it as I'm sure you would only hire a competent individual. Is there any potential of an increase in salary for the full time position or can I at least be reviewed within another 30-60 days for an increase then?
I'm sure from temp to full time that there are benefits IE health insurance etc. so he should keep this in mind as well.

Some temps get paid at a higher rate because they are not getting benefits. I suggest he get his 'foot in the door' get all the benefits he can(health ins dental, sick/vaca days). He can research his salary range on the web, but be sure to be realistic when it comes to REAL experience and what he is capable of. Try to start in the middle of that range-then negotiate for a 'bump up' in 3-6 months if he proves himself worthy to the company. If he does have a 90 day probation period after he starts full time-that is usually a good time for the re-negotiation.
But do be sure to be grateful for the permanant job and the benefits attached. Training and bene's cost a company thousands of dollars. Good Luck.

"I'd like the possibility of a raise". That's the way. You are hourly paid and just a new hire. The truth is that you won't get any raise because you just started working there and have not showed any good substantial contributions to the company. The average time to ask for raises is one year. For hourly employees and temp like you, companies sees you as "replaceable", so I wouldn't even think about asking. You will only feel bad about the response of the jerks in the office. Your pay must of been negotiated at the time of hire. Good luck.

90 days is a bit soon to asking for a raise. there is a place here that is temp to hire. you start out at a certain pay rate, and you dont get so much as a penny raise for a minimum of 5 years. you friend should just be glad he/she has a job, and if the company feels that he/she deserves a raise, they will award one. raises ar not negotiable. you either take what they give you, or do without.

Appear to be indifferent or disinterested, then wait and see what happen.
