Salary re-negociation : How to?
(OP)
Soon arriving at the end of my first year of activity, I will have to see my Human Ressources Manager to analyze this year and talk about my carreer evolution.
This, of course, includes salary re-negociation.
As many of you here already have some experience with this, I wonder what tips you could give me regarding this interview.
What do you take into account to negociate your salary? What percentage seems reasonnable to ask?
Thanks for your enlightment :)

Your boss is the one who decides what raise you get within company guidelines of course. Human Resources wants’ to give you least amount they can and still keep you.

In general, if the company is large, then they can afford to give you an extra 3% on that figure of 2% with no costs to them. This is based upon a 10% turnover of staff where in general older, more expensive staff, are replaced by younger and cheaper staff. An individual in the company can then have his salary increased by about 3% but the overall salary bill to the company remains unchanged on average. This is why teachers in many countries can expect an inflation rate increase in their salary plus a 'step-up' the ladder of about 3% and yet the cost to the goverment is only the general increase due to inflation. If you're in a smaller company then it's more difficult to argue that case.
