Annual Pay Raises in 2014

Published

Know some facilities aren't providing increases this year.

Our's is giving nurses 0.5% for a satisfactory eval.

Seems ridiculously low.

What percentages are you folks seeing?

We have yearly evaluations and raises are based on those evaluations. You have to walk on water to 4%. It usually is about 2%. I am, however, very fortunate to work for a facility that gives a sharing success bonus at the end of the year. That helps a lot. Unless I just absolutely loved my job, I would never work for a company that does not value their employees enough to give yearly raises.

Our evals are jokes. We all know it, including management. We just go through the motions so management can have a signed form in our files. Sometimes I think they just copy the same one year to year.

We never know if we're going to get a raise, until we get, or don't get one.

I was lucky.....4%. I went from $29 to $30.16 after being at my facility for nine months. I think I get paid pretty well for outpatient services. I truly do have a fantastic employer and LOVE going to work!

Think this is very typical in nursing. Totally sad situation.

In business and other professional fields, this is such an important part of management, human resources and employee development, and company strategic planning and future goals.

At my previous job they cut all raises and bonuses about 3 yrs ago. At my last eval I got a $10 gas gift card.. My new job gives an automatic "cost of living" raise in Jan and offers bonuses for perfect attendance. I'm not sure but I think they offer a raise with annual evals...

All non nursing staff got 1.5% raise. Nursing got 2%. I got another 3% and a day off with pay as a bonus after my eval. We usually get 2 or 3 percent across the board every other year. It is possible to get anything from nothing to 3.5% raise based on eval. As far as I can tell the evals are based on who likes you.

From what I've heard about my facility, they usually give somewhere between $0.20-$0.60/hr. I think that is awful, but what do I know?

I think I got a 30 cent/hr raise, but then 4 months later they "normalized shift differentials" and I lost 16 cents an hour from my night shift differential, and 21 cents an hour from my weekend differential.
