Promised Pay Rise

You work part-time at a café while studying. When you started six months ago, the manager said your hourly rate would be reviewed after a three-month probation period. Probation has ended and you now close the shop most nights, but your pay has not changed. Speak to your manager: explain the situation and negotiate a pay review.

Hi, thanks for making time to chat. I wanted to talk about my pay. When I started six months ago, you mentioned my hourly rate would be reviewed after the three-month probation. I really enjoy working here, and since then I've taken on closing the shop most nights. I'd like to ask whether we could do that review now. I'm not expecting a huge jump, but an increase that reflects the extra responsibility would mean a lot. Would you be open to discussing a figure this week? Thanks for considering it.
