    To be fair to your employer, they gave you a payrise a month ago - it would be fairly unusual for someone to get a promotion one month and then an additional payrise a month later. Most organisations would consider that a promotion a few months before a standard payrise would suffice. I promoted someone to a manager role in my team in April where she got a payrise - so she didn't get the standard payrise in June as well, as she hadn't proved herself in role, yet. However, next year I will bear that in mind when doing her salary review.

    Personally, I'd tell your manager how you feel, but without sounding accusatory. And I'd ask that next year the payrise given brings you in line with your colleagues, so that you aren't missing out.
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    By not using an Apple product.

    Mine's fine because I'm posting from a Kindle Fire tablet.

    You got the other payrise a month ago. Many companies won't give payrises to the same person so close together.

    I think the OP's argument is that the payrise a month ago should have happened several months back. All the OP can do is raise it with the employer

    If your wages don!!!8217;t rise with inflation you are earning less. Companies aren!!!8217;t expected to raise pay with rates of inflation but if they don!!!8217;t you are worse of but not a pay cut.
    I understood the definition that was being used, I just don't agree that it is a pay cut....
