Are their any law regarding pay raise?

Question

Like if you get an evaluation and the results were very good, should you get a pay raise?

Answer 1

There may have been such a law in the Communist USSR, in Hitler's Germany or some other fascist regime, or in France where they cave in to vile, depspicalbe, corrupted youths who riot and tear the country apart and behave like vermin.

Also, the minimum wage needs to be abolished and a constitutional amendment needs to be added to prevent it from occurring again.

Answer 2

Just because you got a good evaluation does not mean you get a raise in pay. Each company can determine how raises are done and for what purpose. There is no law for pay raises. If you have any questions concerning labor rules you can contact the wage and hour labor board.

Answer 3

Just because an evaluation is good doesn't mean you'll get a pay raise. We are a capitalistic country. As each private employer has the right to set his own pay standards as long as he is paying federal minimum wage. He doesn't have to give you any benefits what-so-ever...no holiday pay, no bonus, no medical insurance. Now, if it is a union job, then you have the union to negotiate benefits -- including pay raises. Good luck. Maybe you have a good employer that believes in rewarding good performance.

Answer 4

Nope.
even communists do not have laws on pay raises.
understand ur evaluation is only a small part of the raise.
best way to get a raise is learn more , work more, look for new job.

Answer 5

The only law regarding wages, is that you cannot be paid below mininum wage. Anything else, is that particular company's policy. For sure you have some paperwork when you first got hired discussing how often you get raises and how much. Keep up the good work. You are a go getter.

Answer 6

It's not a matter of law - as far as the laws go, you could work 50 years and not get a raise. It's fairly common practice for employers to give raises though, often annually. But they are not required to.

Answer 7

no sorry there are no laws stating that you must give an employee a raise. The only thing that your employer has to do is pay you minimum wage.

Answer 8

No laws, they do not have to give you a pay raise. They can even give you a pay cut if they wanted. Unless you work for a Union. But if you did, I am sure you would know as you would have to pay union fees and would know who to contact for employee rights info.

Answer 9

You should get one... but the law does not state that they have to give you one. Your company has to pay you minimum wage for your state and that is it. If you are not happy with your pay scale its time to find a new job.

Answer 10

If its yearly yes you should get a raise. But they dont have to give it to you. Yea thats the kicker, they dont have to give you a raise as long as your making minimum wage. I would still hint to them that you want one. Sometimes if you tell them you are thinking about leaving they will give you one, but that all depends on where you work.
