<prompt> Human: Is this common for raises given near the end of year and I should expect it to be lumped into an upcoming pay or is it a little wonky?Raise was agreed upon around Dec 20th and was told there would be an official letter from HR. Have not received the letter nor any pay increase through the first two January cheques.Does anyone have experience with this situation?  <response>: It not appearing on the first paycheck is to be expected as paychecks are often delayed by a pay period. It not being in the second is suspicious, especially if you also have not gotten a letter that they said would be arriving.If other people also may have gotten a raise at that same time you could maybe ask them, or go straight to your bossHR
