Question - Promotion and Raises

Just wondering, When someone gets a promotion, is it normal to get the same percent raise that you would if you only got a raise and not a promotion? Or should the raise percent be higher if you got a promotion too?
Thanks

I think it would be contingent on how much added job responsibility I would have.
If it was a ton, then I would negotiate to get higher than the norm.
When is your review date, you can use that as part of negotiating as well.

well,I know in my husband's job, there are clearly defined levels & each level has a range, so depending where you are in level 1, it may be a big jump to get to the minimum of level 2.

When they just get a raise, I think everyone gets a similar percent, which is proabably smaller than the promotion pay scale jump.

Here, on the other hand, I had juat gotten a $3,000 raise with my 1 year review & then I was promoted when soemone left 2 months later, so I just got a $1000 raise. Ther is no real system here.

Sometimes we give promotions without giving raises at all. Sometimes they come 6-months down the road. Sometimes not for longer than that.
With a promotion you cannot always expect a HUGE pay raise.

I technically started in this position october 25th 2004, and I just got the promotion. Thats how it goes at my company.

I wish I would get a $3000 raise. Consider yourself lucky

when DH got his promotion he got a raise to bring his salary commensurate with others in the field with similar skill sets. salary.com has that info. i believe.
