Is there a law that an employer is require to rise the salary of the employees in a certain time?

Question

I heard that some poeple say that employer usually rise their employee's salary every 6 months, is that a law? If not, are there a requirement in the law that the employer have to rise their employee's salary in a certain period?

Answer 1

No - Sorry - An employer can raise a salary or lower it at their choice.

There are a lot of laws about making sure you are not discriminated against, but that just means everyone is treated in the same way. Best way to get a raise is tomake sure your boss appreciates what you do and that it contributes to the business

Answer 2

If you want an accurate/useful answer, you need to disclose which state/country you live in. The laws vary by state, with some having very few legal requirements for employers, while others (like California) are quite regulated.

For example, just recently a few states increased the minimum wage. That only affects employers/employees in those states, not the entire United States (and obviously no effect on other countries).

Answer 3

Nope. Salary is a matter for negotiation between employer and employee.

The exception here would be if minimum wage is increased, and you're below the new amount - then the employer would be required to give you the increase. Or if you're covered by a labor contract that specifies increases after a certain period, then they're required.

Answer 4

The only time an employer is required, by law, to raise your salary is when you are working for minimum wage and the minimum wage increases, by law.

Answer 5

Only if you are union and have a union contract.
