How to ask for a raise due to inflation

To ask for a raise due to inflation, use this guide:

• Know the statistics. It is important to know the data concerning inflation before requesting a raise. Do some research to find out the exact current inflation rate.

  It is also crucial that you know the metrics concerning the market rate for your current position. Obtaining the data on both of these things will help you to prove a valid case for a raise, due to the current cost of living.

• This should not only be about inflation, but your job performance as well. To have an air-tight case on the validity of you getting a raise, this request should also pertain to your job performance.

  If you've been a stellar employee, it makes it that much harder for your employer to cite just cause in not giving you a raise.

• Don't waste time. If you are in a period of inflation, the time to act is now.

  Waiting too long may result in a decrease in inflation and thus giving you less justification for your raise. Do your inflation and job position research, evaluate your job performance, and schedule a meeting with your manager or supervisor.
