I've got my review 5 months ago(in may). I did not had my raise at that time because management explained to me that economy it wasn't good enough. Now 5 month later I got my raise, but they did not paid raise for the last 5 month, they start to count from this month(Oct.) This is legal? Do I have any right to request what they own me?
Thanks

Hello K:

Unless you have an employment contract that call for the raises you are talking about, they don't OWE it to you. They have the right to give raises, to take raises away, or to fire you tomorrow for absolutely no reason at all.

Those are the legal employment terms in states that are "at will".
