Salary negotiations in any workplace can be frustrating for any employee especially if the company’s criteria for salary increments are not clearly defined. There are a number of things that employers consider during salary negotiations ranging from performance, professionalism, discipline, dressing and character.
Most employers silently take notes on all their employees which are then used as a guide of the employee’s indispensability during the salary negotiations.However the procedure of expressing one’s desire for a salary increment to the Human Resource (HR) manager is what troubles most people.
If not handled properly, salary negotiations can lead to disgruntlement and in the worst case scenario, implosion. Most companies have their own way of dealing with salaries/wages but the recommended channel for employees to start negotiations is through their immediate supervisor.
