I been working for 4 month at my office. My coworker is on maternaty leave for the next 3 months. I have taken all her work plus mine. Should I ask for a raise now that is only me in my department?

First off, they dumped the work of 2 people on you.
I would slow down the pace, and see if they notice, then tell them you want to be paid accordingly for the 2 jobs you are doing.
If slowing down isn't possible, I'd ask now. And tell them the 2 jobs thing wasn't in your job description.
They are taking advantage of you!
But...then again, maybe that is why they hired you...knowing she was going to be out...and you really aren't doing much more than she was doing before you came along.

Most employers could care less about how much work they put on you. All they care about is that your work is done and done right. Yea its sad. But I wouldnt ask for another couple months. The most you can do is ask your boss if they will hire someone temporarly untill your co worker comes back. Good Luck. Maybe Try finding a different job that pays better, if it is really stressfull you dont need that in your life!

yeah. it won't be much but it will help the worst answer you can get in a no. Your boss should understand since you are taking over her job also. I waited to ask for my first raise it was my first job and i worked for 3 1/2 years and got a little 60 cent raise.

I would say you could listen to those who say that your duties have increased and so ask for one now...the thing is, as a manager, when it got to your annual review, I'd take that into account and possibly reduce your raise there to compensate.
If you didn't have a 90-day, then I'd inquire, politely. Otherwise, I'd wait for 6 months. No one likes to spend a lot of money on someone they're not sure is staying.

depends where you are working at. I would say wait for a year. But, really tho, you should never ask for a raise only if you work there for a long time and really good at the job and so on...

Sweety you have a while to go. Wait at least a year. That will be time for you to prove that your worth the raise. I know it's a while but if you ask to soon it may jeopardize the job.

Usually six months is appropriate. But if you are now doing the work of two, It may be a good time !

No, if you are double worked and not happy and they do not realize your situation, start looking for another job, when people start calling for reference then they will realize, also be professional and do not burn a bridge, good luck
