I recently moved from part to full-time and got a raise. I asked for confirmation in writing.?

Question

I feel weird about asking. Am I perfectly justified in asking? I don't want my bosses to think I don't trust their word.

Answer 1

You could ask for an offer letter for your records.

It is not uncommon for people to maintain a file where employment records (offer letters, pay stubs, etc.) are kept in case they need to provide documentation (i.e. for tax purposes, house/car purchases, financial aid documentation and any other purpose requiring income verification).

Answer 2

If your going to find out in two weeks I don't see the problem. Just check your check. They'll think it's weird to ask also, I think. I find it a good rule that if you have to ask the answer is no with very few exceptions. That subtle doubt, unless it comes from thinking too much, is a sure sign. A couple of times I asked myself, "should I say that?" I just couldn't see anything wrong with what I wanted to say, consciously, but both times I got called into the office. I sure learned my lesson. If you ever possibly can, go with the flow. Then you'll be smooth, which of course isn't always the most important thing. If you learn how to listen to your intuition, in other words which is intuition and which is thought, intuition is the only way to have good judgment unless your experienced, even then you should use it. It changed my life from bad judgment to good, unpopular to popular, happy also and a long list of other things.

Answer 3

The raise should be noticeable on your next check. If your rate doesnt change, then question your employer about it. Normally, you dont get a notice when you get moved from part time to full time or a raise.

Answer 4

Hell yes get it in writing!!!!!!
