<prompt> Human: Back in April, I received a 2hr raise. An email was sent to our finance departmentsmaller company, one lady handles payroll and myself instructing them to Give me another 2hr immediately. Expect another to him in six months to get him up to a good tech pay scale. That is quoted directly from the email, and that was back in the first week of April. We are now about two weeks past that 6 month mark, and it has not yet been reflected on my paycheck. Honestly, I didnt expect it to go up automatically, as this is the sort of thing I would undoubtedly have to remind them about. And it has also been 6 months since that was sent out, and I dont expect memory to serve them well, given there is a history of forgetfulness to another level within this company. Not to be rude, and not bashing my company, nor my management, but they do not have the best memory of things and it can be very frustrating to deal with. What I would like to know is what is the best way to bring this subject up to my boss? Hes very non confrontational, doesnt like controversy, and has just a terrible memory. Im afraid hethey may try to shrimp out of it and come up with a reason to not give it to me at this time. Such as, I wasnt promised a raise technically, but was expected to receive one. I want to be as respectful as possible when approaching this situation. Ive just never been the type to demand or even ask for a raise. The last one was given to me out of nowhere. Was told he was just happy with my performance, and it was time for a raisewhich sparked this upcoming raise. Any help or advice on approaching this topic would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: I mean, to me that email doesnt sound like your 6 month mark raise was set in stone so I definitely wouldnt expect your finance department to implement it automatically without another email from your boss directing them to.If I were in your shoes, I would forward that original email to your boss and say something like About six months ago, we discussed my getting a raise around this time. Could we set-up a time to discuss where we stand with that, please?
