The latest jobs numbers show that there are more job openings in the US than there are people looking for work. If you do anything more than entry-level, minimum-wage work, now is the time to ask for that raise.
But don't just "money please" your request. You need to show why you deserve it.
Create a thoughtful argument about the value you produce, expenses you cut, efficiencies you created, or revenue you brought in. Be armed with specific instances of what you've done to help the company, and then make sure you've done your research about your market value. Knowing your realistic upside will make sure you don't get undersold.
If the company "isn't giving out raises at this time", ask for an early evaluation in 30/60/90 days and get that in writing. If there is still nothing there and you aren't the happiest employee in the world, this is your signal to start looking on the market.
