When the employees are underpaid, whenever a problem occurs, they tend to make errors in their strategy. In case an employee needs to ask for a salary increment then here are some helpful tips:

1. Know the worth of the job

If a product has a price then it implies that it has a market value. In order to find the market price of an employee, the employee must network with their peers and check out salary comparison websites. Titles can be misleading. However, employees need to focus on their responsibilities.

2. Research on the pay practices of the company

In case an employee is unaware of internal and external pay practices then ask for an explanation from the head. Employees must talk with the HR manager regarding the salary policies, increment practices, and salary ranges.

3. Being realistic

A company will not pay the salary of a lawyer to the receptionist. In case the employee has reached the maximum salary for the job then the raise may occur only if the market value increases.

4. Confidence counts a lot

If the employee does not believe that he is worth more money then he/she can not convince the boss. So one needs to arm oneself about their own responsibilities, pay comparisons and accomplishments.

5. Focus on sales not begging

The company does not care if the employee is in debt or has five kids. People get hikes only because they add value. Hence the employee must convince the boss about why the employee needs the increment and why he/she deserves it.

6. The employee must not wait until the performance review

It seems like the performance review day is the right day to ask for a salary hike. But it is not the case. In most of the companies, the salaries are discussed with the employees before the performance review, and hence employees must talk with the bosses early.

7. The timing must be efficient

The right time when the employee can ask for an increment is when a major problem is

solved, when a new responsibility is taken, or a challenging project is solved. In case you missed the opportunity or did not complete the task then forget about asking the hike. And if the company recently had laid off or had a sales slump, then it is definitely a bad time.

8. Considering the personality of the boss

Some bosses are convinced with sales pitches while others are convinced with data-driven pitches. Hence an employee must make sure which concept works well.

9. Just do it like that

Asking for money makes most of the employees anxious. However, most of the managers might get offended or surprised by the request. As a result, they might turn the request down.

10. Don’t stop if the manager says no

If the boss says no, then the employee must question him what the employee could do for merit.

If the boss says it’s a bad time, then the employee must question him whether it is reasonable to renew the request.

 If the boys say salary increment is an issue, then the employee must question him if a bonus would be fine.

Politics in India has turned out to be a business rather than just social service or a job in the service of the nation!

In this business most of the players, right from MLA’s to MP’s to even aspiring candidates are businessmen with huge turnovers and living life king size!

Yet their hunger for more and more money isn’t getting satisfied as their greed shows new colours every day. A couple of days ago we saw them again asking for a rise in their salaries, in fact doubling their salaries due to rising cost of living. Agreed, cost of living is rising and it is difficult for common man to make ends meet or live a dignified life, but these MP’s are not part of the common population.

They are a privileged class who came into prominence due to their riches and wealth!

Let’s share with you the details of India’s top 10 richest MPs Of India elected to the 2014 Lok Sabha and then you can decide whether they require their salaries to get doubled up:

1) Jayadev Galla

He is an MP from Guntur and belongs to Telugu Desam Party with a net worth of Rs. 683 crores! You guys counting the zeroes in that figure?

2) Konda Vishweshwar Reddy

He is from Telangana Rashtra Samiti and won his seat from Chevella in Telangana. His net worth is Rs. 528 crores. A few thousands extra in his salary are going to make a difference in his life?

3) Gokaraju Ganga Raju

This BJP MP from Narsapuram in Andhra Pradesh is sitting comfortably on a net worth of Rs. 282 crores. Still wants extra perks?

4) Butta Renuka

The YSR Congress MP from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh is worth Rs. 242 crores. What are few extra thousands for him except loose change?

5) Kamal Nath

Congress MP from Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh is enjoying his life with a net worth of Rs. 206 crores and yet feels his salary should be doubled!

6) Kanwar Singh Tanwar

This BJP MP from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh is worth Rs. 178 crores and still dreaming of getting additional perks with double salary!

7) Hema Malini

Actress and BJP MP from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh is worth Rs. 177 crores. Wondering how a few extra or a few less thousands are going to impact her life in any manner!

8) Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah

Another BJP MP from Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand is worth Rs. 166 crores and instead of lobbying for a better life for people of her constituency, is part of the MP brigade asking for salary hikes!

9) Pappu Yadav

Rashtriya Janta Dal MP from Madhepura, Bihar is known for criminal activities and has a net worth of Rs. 146 crores. He ever thinks about poor people in his constituency?

10) Pinaki Misra

This Biju Janta Dal MP from Puri in Orissa is worth Rs. 137 crores and yet seeking more!

There is no harm in trying to earn more money and absolutely no crime to have net worth of hundreds of thousands of crores. The only problem is that their salaries come from taxes that common man pays without getting adequate facilities in return from the government.

All that a common man gets is poor infrastructure, corruption and bad quality of life despite paying through the nose to make sure these MPs lives a comfortable life. Yet they act like blood-suckers by asking to increase their salary from Rs. 50,000 to Rs.1,00,000/-. It is not about few thousands extra, but about how this extra money could be used for the welfare of common man as this incremental income may not do much for most of these MPs!

Wish they tone down their greed a bit! If not, the ordinary citizen of the country will have to kick them out ASAP!
