There are two main and compelling reasons why most employers will consider increasing their employee's salary. First, that the employee's value on the open market is greater than his current salary, and the company does not want to lose him. The second option is that the salary does not correspond to the volume of duties performed and, again, the company does not want to lose the worker.

What is common in both situations? Typically, an increase in responsibility and an increase in the position is accompanied by some increase in salary, but not always. Sometimes people get high salaries in their current positions, and additional responsibilities bring their salaries in line with the company's remuneration structure.

Sometimes companies open new positions with additional responsibilities that reflect current business and economic realities, therefore, even if an employee leaves work, the company will have to hire someone new and pay the same, if not more, for performing the same duties.

If, despite a good business case, the company still does not agree to raise its salary, the best way out of the situation is to continue to insist on its own or to look for another job. At some point, either the current employer will agree to your terms or a new one.
