If you're self-employed or in a job where you don't get a regular salary, getting a pay raise can be a little tricky. Here are some steps to help you figure out how to ask First, consider the best time to ask. Is it part of your annual performance review? Is there some sort of financial incentive that comes with your job? Can you request more money by working more hours or achieving certain benchmarks? If your company has an open door policy, this is a good time to bring up the subject. You may even want to start off with general questions like "What's the standard salary range?" or "What would it take for me to get a raise at my performance review?"
But you must make sure you’re ready. Have you just hit a personal or work milestone that merits advancement? Is there a promotion in the near future at your company? Do you have evidence of recent performance-based rewards, such as awards or commendations? Then you can go ahead with the request.
