Ah, yes. The conversation every manager will have many times throughout their careers. Employees ask for a raise, constantly. What’s a person to do? When it comes to working through this conversation, you have a few options. In this instance, prevention is key.
The best way to handle these conversations is to already have a set raise and bonus schedule outlined in your employee handbook. If you have a set policy (and stick to it), this will help reduce the instance of employees coming up to you in between asking for raises. A good incentive policy will outline everything from the employee’s start date from when they are eligible to receive a bonus, to what the requirements are to receive that bonus.
Have a plan in place for raises and employee incentives.
