There are many ways that you can build your career in an organization. Believe in yourself. Have a right attitude and confidence. Build good rapport towards your co-workers and to your boss. Volunteer in some other task that is not assigned to you. Management will surely know what you have done and eventually will promote you. This means when you are promoted, monetary increase will follow. Always put your best foot forward.

 In my experience, the government usually orders companies to increase the pay of employees and the reason for the increase in due to rise in prices of basic goods or economic downturn. Of course this is a welcome move by the workers both in government and private organizations. Then the increase will also affect the basic salary of workers which then will be the basis for the minimum wage for companies. The level of salary increments of an organization depends on their salary bracket. An employee who has reached a certain salary cap cannot receive an increase. What the company usually does is to promote the worker or give him other benefits. This will also have an impact in income tax.

 A small increase in salary may be a big tax cut in your salary. That is why sometimes salary increases is not a welcome move by some employees. This must be studied carefully by the employee as well as the human resources. Other companies give bonuses instead of salary increment. Bonuses are given to outstanding workers or if the company exceeds its target. Workers always appreciate bonuses.

 In every department however, employees will differ in how one works. There is always a person in that department that deserves an increase. And at the same time there are also workers that are weak and slow. But the company will issue policies that in a certain department one employee can have a rating of excellent, one or two for above average and the rest just average.  Department heads try to avoid a rating that is below average. The reason is that all the workers in a department contributed to the success in a certain project. But if there is a person below average then this is exceptional case. Then the ratings of each department will all go to the human resources to categorize and summarized all the results of the performance ratings. This is usually done once a year by companies.

 Sometimes ratings are done twice a year if the company gives out bonuses to all employees. Other companies encourage the line managers or supervisors to discuss the ratings of their subordinates. This will remove all doubts on the ratings done and will pave a way for the supervisor to advice the employee or give pointers on how to improve their performance.  Workers should look at this as a positive move for the part of their superiors and not something that will build a wall between them. The company always looks forward to have a fruitful year after year and always depends on the employee’s achievements. Let there be peace and harmony in every workplace for this is the goal of every company.
