I work for a precision aerospace company. I was hired on as a support worker fulfilling tickets at $12/hr. I've been at my position for about 5 months. In that 5 months I have moved from just doing tickets to managing the ticket network, being a part of the engineering ticket network, and now I am in charge of all the PPAP documentation (consists of bubbling prints, creating inspection documentation, and special documentation depending on certain clauses of the customer). I feel like I have gained a considerably amount of responsibility and workload from when I was initially hired. And I believe that should merit a raise.
The only thing that I see as an issue is that my father was in dying in the ICU for approximately 30 days (thankfully he survived) but during that time I had a decent amount of absences since I'm his only family and next of kin. I also have Ulcerative Colitis and was hospitalized overnight, missing a total of 2 days which put me over the limit for days missed and got a written warning because of it. It's been about a month since I got the written warning and I haven't had any absences since. (And yes they were aware of reasons for the days I missed)
My boss says he has high hopes for me and sees me as an important part of the team. He said he wasn't happy that they didn't give me a raise at my 60 days and he would try to get me one before my 1 year. And I did get an 18 cent raise ($12.18/hr), but cmon 18 cents??
Ilike the job and my boss and don't wanna cause friction. I was just wondering if it's appropriate to ask for a raise or if i should wait longer? And what is an appropriate amount? On average my coworkers in my group make $17-18/hr
