I have been in my job for 5 months now and next week i am having my performance review.
When I received the offer letter from the company it stated the starting salary. At the time of the interview I mentioned about my salary being reviewed in 3 months time, but the GM who agreed to it has left.
Will the new GM laugh at me in asking or shell I not mention it.

It really depends on whether you merit a pay rise - if you feel you have made a valuable contribution in some way, then you should of course point it out and make a reference to the previous GM having stated it would be reviewed. The new GM won't laugh at you (or it would be extremely unprofessional if she did) but be prepared to justify your being paid more. Good luck - just be calm and professional yourself.

Well, it depends what type of performance review you're having. Lots of companies don't actually have pay reviews at the same time as appraisals. If your job description has changed - you have taken on more duties, then you can go with that information to the appraisal and ask for an appropriate rise in salary. If there wasn't anything in writing about your salary being reviewed, then whatever an ex-member of staff said, whatever his position, isn't relevant. Arm yourself with as much detail about what you were taken on to do and what you are doing now and if you believe you deserve a rise, then you will probably get one.

You said you had an offer letter stating the starting salary etc, Take this with you to your review and ask the question.People normally have a starting salary which goes up after 6 months and are normally put on full money after a year.........This normally then goes up annually with inflation.Some jobs are performance related so you should ask this in your review.......

The performance review is the place and time to ask for a raise. If he says you aredoing a good job, mention the conversation with the previous GM and ask about a raise

It is always a good idea to ask for more money, or whatever else you want. That is why other people get more. (including your boss!) During the interview, just say something like "I feel i have worked hard for the company" and "with inflation, I now find I need £20.00 extra a week to live" and see what they say. If no reply, start looking for a job where they will give you that bit more!

ASK AFTER THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW.
MENTIONED WHAT THE PREVIOUS GM HAD STATED.
I WOULD HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED IT AFTER THE THREE MONTH TIME FRAME.
