Is it legal for a company not to give raises?

Answer 1

Federal law does not require employers to give employees raises at any time. If the budget does not permit, it may not be feasible for the company to increase its expenses (in this case, an increase in payroll). If you've brought up the issue to your supervisor, s/he should be able to explain exactly why a raise is not possible and when, if at all, s/he may be able to give a raise.

If you feel you are not being paid what you think you should, you can also express to your employer that you will begin seeking employment elsewhere that pays enough to conver your expenses. If you are seen as an asset to the company, employers typically will give in and offer a raise or some form of incentive in every effort not to lose you.

Communication is the key to success! If you do not effectively and properly communicate with your boss, the raise you think you deserve may never happen. Remember your boss cannot read your mind. Typically in the corporate world, employers do not offer a raise unless it is widely anticipated in the company by several people or if the employee asks for it.
