I've been working for a small business for almost 2 yrs now, and when I first started working, I was told I was going to get paid a certain amount. I didn't, I got paid $2 less then what told. So I didn't say much, because I really needed a job. 7 mnths after getting hired my boss gave me a 50 cent raise (yay) she said that I am such a great worker so she gave me an early raise. Now I do ALOT for this company, I get here at least an hour and half early and start do some work - I don't even clock in! I work for an hour and half for FREE! pretty much. I feel like I'm the lead compare to the others, I'm smart, fast learner, and bilingual (the only bilingual here too). My boss tells me all the time, how she likes the way I work, and she even gave me a generous Xmas bonus.But I feel like I am underpaid, for all that I do. I think I need to get paid at least $4 more. How do I go about asking her for a $4 raise.I deserve it, even my other co-workers say so. Note: I work 2 positions & no raise

I was told to cover for someone else permanently and was going to get paid alot more if I accept it. Which, I never did and I was still not given that raise. So here I am stuck w/ a 50 cent raise. I know that if I were to look for a job elsewhere I would get paid alot more. But I really love my job, and my coworkers, but not my salary.
