okay,let say that u already 1 year with ur company and ur salary is RM 1.7k.
and then 1 new employee just join from other company with 1 year experience (same like u) and have same position like u but he get RM 2.2k salary...hmm..

my question is can we ask for an increase in our salary so we also get around RM 2.2k?is it acceptable?or we cant do nothing about this?

this happen in my new company..

Is he a degree holder ? Are you a diploma holder ?

What about experiences in etc etc bla bla bla ?

Thats the problem , thats why my mom says dont tell people how much you got. Else my colleague will ask same thing like what you did. =p

nope,not me..its happen in my company.im juz fresh grad n juz join this company.its happen in my office...

both persons, A(existing employee) and B(new employee) have same qualification (degree) and same experience(1 year).....

Hmmm, is there such thing as he graduated from a more prestigious uni with a better class? Or his performance in that 1 year was way ahead of the other?

Yeah, it is normal to have this type situation, where the salary of

newly joined experienced person > same experience person

This is the reason why so many people are hopping around. If the new company offers the same or even less salary, there won't be so many people hopping around.

For my company, there will be marketing adjustment after several years in order to mark up the basic salary for experienced people since their entry level salaries were lower than the current fresh entries.

Obviously you are being bully. Leave or increase.

Well, I never do so but when it has been stated in the contract that after certain time will got increment.

mie7 isn't the one that kena. Read properly loo...

if u really,really wanna know why, then ask around about his qualification, experience, special skill, achievement and position in previous company then compare with, lets say, 'you'.

there always a valid reason. nepotism could be one..heheh

If your friend is good enough, i think he can ask for the increment as well.

I did that a few years ago and my boss gave me extra RM300

I guess some company's are willing to do this when they are profiting.
Eg getting more project etc

They should do an adjustment in order to mark up the basic salary for experienced people since their entry level salaries were lower than the current fresh entries like szeping mentioned.

If not they would have a possibility of loosing the existing employers.

but that's just my opinion anyway.

some companies promise high salary to korek quality staff from their rivals.

its depand on ur company as well, like me my company really...wasting my time. they always told us we has adjustment soon fr May till now end up told us wait again. damn im really under pay now...
anyway u should fight for urself if u think u should get d increment, else they will pretend duno...

some of the company is like that unfair.... donno how to appreciate thier existing employee....

Heh, i remember the hr of my company always say employee want to resign nevermind, we can always hire someone else...

btw,i already asked my frenz (A) y he didnt ask for salary increasing from hr and then the hr reply "u can quit becoz it will be cheaper if we hire fresh grads (thats me) than raising ur salary.." huh!!

lucky im fresh grad and start with 1.7k,juz join last week...but A already one year and only 1.7k after RM100 increment..phew..

sad to hear that. the hr really dont know how to respect and appreciate the existance of your fren.

agree, but think in other way, HR stupid also keep train fresh ppl n dun mind them resign but these ppl apply wat they learn previously in other company. if d company saying so dun mind ppl resign can hire fresh ppl i think this company HR really brainless
