Timeline for 10% raise is not being honored because I submitted my two weeks' notice shortly after paperwork was signed. What do I do?

If the raise was to say "we value you and want you to stay with us", there would be no point for them to pay you it, since suddenly your value to the company has evaporated and you aren't staying. You feel sore that they didn't implement an agreement, but they feel sore that you made the agreement just before quitting. They'll feel no moral obligation to honour an agreement they felt you made in bad faith. | |

| Jun 18, 2014 at 17:58 | comment | added | keeehlan | Frankly, this company sucks. And I have a prepaid legal service at my disposal, so the cost to me is null. At this point, it's the principle of the matter. @HLGEM | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 17:53 | comment | added | HLGEM | The only way you will get the raise is likely to be to hire a lawyer. Is one pay periods 10% raise really worth the cost of a lawyer as well as the harm to your realtionship wiith people you expect fure recommendations from? | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 17:44 | comment | added | keeehlan | It clearly states 06/02, which is the start of the pay period which just ended either last week or early this week. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 17:42 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | When does the paperwork say the raise will go into effect? | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 17:40 | comment | added | MrFox | This seems to be a legal question, so you should reach out to a lawyer. Before you do that, I would suggest considering whether pursuing this is worthwhile (both financially, and in terms of preserving professional relationships). | |
