I hope you meant a "raise"?
My experience is mid-morning after things have calmed down a bit and everything is humming along smoothly. And don't be hesitant, sell your successes and contributions. But don't be cocky, and don't act like you are the only one who ever does anything. Mention a couple of your achievements briefly. And mention a business goal to show you are thinking of your future there.
Oh, and call ahead, even if it's from the phone down the hall. Just ask if he/she has a minute. Drop in's can be a really bad idea.
Later... A thumbs down already? Now why in the world would a thoughtful and polite answer get a thumbs down? Sorry...
Much later... No problem. Good luck and let us know how much you get!

at the starting up, ignoring the obtrusive spelling mistake, that is spelt stress .... there's a ingredient called inflation, remind your boss that your earninsg should be saved in retaining with this. you should in common words extremely get a sturdy pay upward push if you're experienced. Can a educated chimp do your activity? If certain, do not push it. ASK, and if he declines, say you experience the pay no longer reflects the activity you do and the abilities you've received considering placing out it, and how retraining a sparkling human being will carry the corporation lower back. Managers like formidable human beings, also recommend taking on extra artwork, or getting skills, he will like it

Definitely not Monday, and certainly not Friday. I think any of the in between days would be about the same. But the best time to ask is when the time is right, when the situation presents itself and isn't an awkward time, and also right after you have done something fairly impressive like worked late, solved a problem, covered for someone else, or been especially helpful or skilled at a task.

When business is bad do not ask. When the boss comes in angry or annoyed do not ask then. Wait for when you feel as though he has seen you perform to your fullest and shows appreciation. If he does not show appreciation, and if he is always angry, just ask when you feel the time is right. If you really believe you deserve a raise because your knowledge and work is not replaceable, then ask.If he doesnt give you the raise you want just remember that nobody gets payed what they are worth.

I recently asked for and got a raise... it was a Thursday, at my performance review. I had earned high ratings and was getting a good performance increase already; but I pointed out that my initial salary was based on the fact that I still needed some training, and that since completing it I have been very productive for the company.

i would ask for a rise after an appraisal - if it went well- or after you have met target consistently, or if the minimum wage increases! im salaried (manager)and my minimum wage was less than hourly paid staff so i had a word and it got sorted! also if you feel you can justify the rise!!! dont go in there with a half hearted reason youll get laughed out and it will not look good - ur only there for the money! failing all that get some incriminating photos or get them to have an affair with you! please note this last part was for comedy value only!!!!

The best time is when you are doing a great job, when you have meet or pass the expectations of the job you are doing.
Best time of the day? I would say at the end of the day so, you leave your boss thinking about it for the rest of the day. ANY day of the week is good...
Good luck!

Asking on a particular day is dumb. The right time is when you feel you deserve one and are able to show your boss reasons for why you he should pay you more money for example have you grown by your experiencies in his company are you more productive are you more of an of an asset to him now than before speak with confidence and sell yourself by pointing out your good points

A rise, or a raise ??? If you mean a raise, I'd just go and ask if I thought I deserved it. It doesn't matter what day of the week it is. ~~~~~

It's more about how you approach him, rather than the time. A good attitude is better, and different times will work best for different people :)
