And they really shouldn't go overboard.
voice-verified
They should be careful.
voice-verified
One expert told me that anything more than 10% above max will likely be a tough sell.
voice-verified
That's a really good question, and that is an uncomfortable situation to be in.
voice-verified
But the bottom line is that the worker can go to their bosses with that information and explain or get an explanation for why they're not being paid what their colleagues are making or not being paid what they consider to be a fair wage.
voice-verified
But again, it's having that information necessary.
voice-verified
to show that you're not just coming out with numbers outside of the blue, but it's also you demonstrating, look, I've been here for this long, or I've done an outstanding job in this area, or I've outperformed.
voice-verified
But it's basically you want to have as much information, concrete information, in addition to the numbers, to raise that issue and to make sure that you're paid fairly.
voice-verified
You know, pay ranges require more homework than people might think when they're job hunting.
voice-verified
And it's more than just taking the jobs posted pay range at face value.
voice-verified
While it helps you weed out what jobs you don't want, you want to really think about this because, you know, especially in years like this, when inflation has raised people's costs and pay needs and, you know, has risen to record levels, that pay range might be outdated by the time
voice-verified
you're looking.
voice-verified
So you really have to consider that.
voice-verified
The other thing you may want to do is just consult with a pay negotiation expert or a career coach because, again, just taking it at face value, there's so many other variables.
voice-verified
You just want to be sure that you're on solid ground.
voice-verified
One negotiation expert I talked to recently,
voice-verified
gave me an example of a client who actually had accepted a job and the job was posted, the job salary range was posted in January.
voice-verified
He was starting in June.
voice-verified
And so between that January and June timeframe, inflation had risen so much that they ended up having to renegotiate his pay because the pay that was set back in January
voice-verified
hadn't kept up with inflation.
