Boss at my NFP role told me to ask for a raise (SCHADS Award). What’s reasonable?
I’ve worked for a NFP for 12 months in an admin role and my contract states I’m level 3 SCHADS. I’m paid above the award and on approx 78,000 per annum (I am full time).
My manager approached me and queried my job satisfaction and went on to say they want to retain good employees and if I wanted to ask for a raise he’d support it.
This job was a huge career change, I’ve not worked in NFP before, and I’ve also never been in a position where I’ve been essentially told to ask for a raise. I’m trying to wrap my head around the award, the levels, and what is an appropriate figure to ask for within this sector.
My role and responsibilities have definately grown since I’ve started and I’ve also done a professional development course (paid for by work) which has increased my knowledge/skillset. Can someone please provide me a bit of guidance here and suggest what would be a reasonable amount?
