Antiwork

I work for a Fortune 500 company and I need help/advice to negotiate my upcoming raise. They also get us to sign paperwork to not discuss our raises, I’m in Canada are there laws against this?

Hello everyone! (I live in Canada not USA)** So some background, I've been working for this company for about 3 1/2 years and I really like my job and the people I work with.

Hello everyone! (I live in Canada not USA)**

So some background, I've been working for this company for about 3 1/2 years and I really like my job and the people I work with. My job is pretty easy, I take inbound calls for a few credit card companies to do customer service. My only complaint with my employer is that they suck for wages. 3 years ago when I started I made Min wage ($14), and now I make $15.35.

Last year this company's net income was 600 Million. I don't think it's unreasonable to want a much higher increase in my raise this year considering how much money they make.

What kind of increase do you think I can ask for, and how do I do it, I've had no experience with this before. Also, I can threaten to leave but I wouldn't because there are so many other benefits to this job, but if they did lose me they would be totally screwed, maybe I can use that somehow.

Lastly, in previous years, they have us sign a document stating that we accept the raise and that we can't discuss how much of a raise we got. I know this is illegal in the States, but idk in Canada.

Any help would be appreciated!
