Time for a pay rise??

[miss_petite]

hi
i have been working for my salon for 4 years and have never had a pay rise. i worked full-time went on maternity leave after 6 months part-time. since then i have built up clients , learnt new skills i.e threading , been on training courses ( which most where free or all ) . also i do not recieve the perks i use like i can never get anyone to do my laser treatments ( 50% discount) and feel my invested money even if it is cheap has been wasted becouse i can not get the regular treatments. we have been under new managment for over a year .
i know its a recession but we are just as busy maybe more. oh and the discounted treatments have to be in are own time. my average wage is about 7.10 an hour. i just dont know how to go about it do i ask manager or owner ?

I agree with you Doz_l
If you don't ask then you certainly don't get. They will be happy with you plodding along on the same wage if they think you are.
I would speak to your boss and just say to him 'Am I entitled to a pay rise yet as I have been here 4 years' Closed questions you gotta love em xxx

Does it say anything in your contract about frequency of pay rises? check and see, it might give you some ammunition when talking to the boss!
