“Earning” Negative Pay Range when compared to Base Salary

Hello, Help me understand why this is legal and how I can maybe leverage this. I’ve been in a position for ~10 months. I have an annual review tomorrow. I’ve evidently been killing it per my leadership for the short amount of time that I’ve been here. I train new hires, and I am in the proceed of joining a committee that will benefit my entire team by creating resources they will use on the daily. My pay range has been -7.87% compared to the base range pay. So, I’ve been getting undercut -7.87% from what the MINIMUM offers for a person in my position at my company for the past 8 months. This is broadcasted to us individually. Compared to other organizations, I would need to obtain a ~13-20% raise to compete with the MINIMUM of other locations for an equivalent position… you may ask wtf am I doing,…


Hello,

Help me understand why this is legal and how I can maybe leverage this. I’ve been in a position for ~10 months. I have an annual review tomorrow.

I’ve evidently been killing it per my leadership for the short amount of time that I’ve been here.

I train new hires, and I am in the proceed of joining a committee that will benefit my entire team by creating resources they will use on the daily.

My pay range has been -7.87% compared to the base range pay. So, I’ve been getting undercut -7.87% from what the MINIMUM offers for a person in my position at my company for the past 8 months. This is broadcasted to us individually.

Compared to other organizations, I would need to obtain a ~13-20% raise to compete with the MINIMUM of other locations for an equivalent position… you may ask wtf am I doing, amenities and quality of life at this position are pretty good. Good enough that I’d like to stay.

I have some talking points to bring up tomorrow. Such as this -7.87% number and the “why” surrounding it. As well, will bring up how I can “earn” what the market mean salary is (that 13-20% increase). Any other leverage points would be beneficial.

Another note is my company is kinda sparse on money. There’s quite a few lay offs. my team hasn’t been impacted and isn’t projected to be. But, don’t want to dig my own grave
