Re: Pay Raise
Actions for what? You fail to provide the reason you believe you have a legal entitlement to a raise? Do you have a contract that states you are to receive a raise after you meet certain standards? Otherwise, your pay is a matter between you and your employer, assuming you are being paid at least the federal minimum wage and you are not the subject of unlawful discrimination.
Re: Pay Raise
Unless there is an enforceable contract regarding the raise, your option is to find another job that will honor your increased skills and give you an increase in pay.
