Raise = You’re appropriately classified, but your compensation no longer reflects your performance, contributions, or market value.
Salary reclassification = Your responsibilities, authority, or scope have outgrown your current job grade, and your position needs to be formally reevaluated.
Do you need a raise, or do you need a salary reclassification? There’s a difference, and knowing which one to request could change your earning potential.
Here’s how to tell, 🧵
📌 Investigate internal pay equity. Ask HR where your compensation falls within your salary grade, whether you’re approaching the band ceiling, and what criteria determine movement into the next grade.
And they’re hiring! 🚨
