Pay raises based on Performance?

[MMiz]

When I worked for a private company in Michigan our pay was based on our performance. They gave us a comprehensive evaluation, filled out paragraphs of text, and then added the points up and used that number on a matrix to see what percent raise we'd get each year. Raises could be from 1-4% a year.

How often do you get raises, and for how much? Is it based on percents or dollar amounts?

Things may have changed since I worked there but in high school I worked in the billing office for a local service and helped the HR lady every now and then. When I was there they had two types of raises, there is the annual cost of living raise that was a percentage and everyone in the company got the same percentage. For raises they had 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and every 5 years after that. For that they did a big review with the operations director and medical director to review pretty much everything in the employee file and every call they've been on since their last review. Depending on how that went they were given a certain dollar amount for a raise, the most I saw when I was there was a $1.25/hr raise and the least that I saw was a $0.10/hr raise.

I work private EMS in Eastern MA. They do the raises by percentage, and it's typically 2-4%. They claim it to be based on performance, successfully billed trips (via documentation), attendance, etc... however it seems to be more so related to the company's economic situation and their generosity at that given moment.

Interestingly enough, if I were to apply to another company, some would pay me MORE simply based on offering incentives like an extra $0.50 per year EMS experience. There is no reward for loyalty within EMS around here and it's a shame.

Raises

Raises? You mean there are places that voluntarily give raises without it being mandated by the federal government? WOW!!!!:lol:

I run for a small hospital based ambulance service where we are classified as "compensated volunteers." Which is a nice way for the hospital to have to pay us, yet offer no benefits aside from Worker's Compensation.

The only raises we have received in the years I've been here were in response to the raising of the Federal Mininum wage. Awhile ago the hospital was informed that they were required to pay us minimum wage, and that was a huge pay raise since we had only been getting $2/hr on call pay.

I guess I could complain, but it wouldn't do any good...... no one listens anyway! hehehehe

Merry Christmas everyone! Be safe!

Good god. Out of curiosity, how much does the average CNA or RN make? Minimum wage is ridiculous, but I could be naive about the costs of living in... Wyoming?

Raises come with years of service, but they use the same system here to calculate a little bonus. Usually about 800 dollars for good performance.

We have a "CBPE" or Criteria Based Preformance Exam. It's a hospital wide system, however each dept has their own section. Your Sup fills it out, talleys up the total, does some formula work and TA-DAAAAA you have your potential for annual raise. Generally everyone gets a flat raise additionally each year, basically a cost of living type increase.
