Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Annual Pay Increase
I have been due an annual pay increase since Dec 2007, and I have not received it because I was told that my salaried employee paperwork was not on file in the corporate office, I have since sent in all of my paperwork and still no raise, is it illegal to make me wait for however long to get my increase?

Re: Annual Pay Increase
No. your employer is under no legal obligation to give you any raise unless you have a written employment contract with them that says you are entitled to receive annual raises on a certain date for a certain percentage.

It depends on what your contract is. If the raise is discretionary, you have no right to it.
