Understanding Pay Hikes: How Are Salary Increases Determined After Two Years?

greek
Is there any particular slab for a person to get a hike? In other words, suppose an HR executive joins in 2010 for Rs. 10,000. What should his pay be after the completion of 2 years? Are there any standard industry formulas applied to determine the pay?

It's quite plain when we talk about industry standards. It depends on the HR and the Reporting Manager. Interestingly, the industry standards are set, and they have different slabs for various areas. It depends on ranges and factors that affect the organization:

- Performance of an individual
- Benefits received by the company
- Market and financial growth, and many more...

On the contrary, the current market situations have also changed. There was a time when employees used to receive a performance bonus of 50-60% maximum. Generally, now, as far as the system is concerned, a usual hike of 20-30% is permissible (benefiting the fact to prove your employer).

As days passed, characteristically, it had taken an alleyway that categorized the performance hike. For instance, a star performer - 15-20%, performer - 10%, average performer - 5%, and a doer - (as per employer)/ No hike.

Therefore, as a rule, if someone has worked for 2 years, the immediate manager or the HR manager should consider all the above facts for any hike.
