Frequently asked questions & answers- Salary/ Pay Rise.

Question 1     

I have been asked to relocate to a small town as part of a restructure within the company I work at. The company will pay for all the relocation expenses to the small town & I am happy at this company, but I don't like the small town life, as I am a city person. My immediate manager knows I don't really want to relocate to a small town, but it's not up to him. So can I simply refuse to move or do I tell them either I don't move or I will resign ?

Question 2      

I have been offered a promotion at my present company to a managers role. But I have to relocate to London which is an area I don't know. What things should I ask for and expect if I accept the position? I.e. relocation pay, time to find somewhere to live ... etc., in terms of negotiating pay what things should I be asking in terms of moving to a more expensive area? 

Question 3

I have two confirmed job offers. I like company B more, but they are paying considerably less. Do I accept the company B's offer or ask company B to match the offer of the company A? Also, should I try to get more out of   company B by telling them that I have another job? By the way I am currently unemployed, as I was laid off by my last employer 6 months ago.

Question 4

How do I write a pay rise request letter and how much should I ask for?

Question 5

Every time I ask my boss for a pay rise, he only brings up minor mistakes I have made and ignores my major achievements. Any suggestions? 

Question 6

After getting an offer from another company, my current employer offered me 5% more than the offer I got. I don't know what to do. Do I negotiate with the other company or do I accept my current employer's higher offer?

Question 7

I have accepted several additional responsibilities with my current employer & I was asked to write a salary increase request letter to justify the salary increase. Can you give me some tips?

Question 8

I am applying for jobs online that ask for 'desired salary'. Is it a good idea to indicate what I'd like to make?
