<prompt> Human: This will be a little long so please bare with me. I just want to give some background on the situation. I have been working for my company for 10 years. I was hired young. I knew when I accepted the job that my salary was under what someone more experienced would makeone contributing factor, but for me at the time it was a really nice starting salary.The problem began about 8 months into my first year. The recession hit. The company went on some hard times and we even had to lay some people off. A wage freeze was instituted that lasted about three and a half years. So I didnt get a raise for quite some time. I understood and never made a big deal about it. So that is another of the contributing factor of why I am so far out of range with the new scale. Once the company started doing well again they went back to annual raises. My company has always paid under market value company wide. They always made the case that the benefits that they provided money the company paid into insurance vs what it asked from employeesoff set the lower salary of similar size companies. Which was true. I pay a very good price for insurance. But it is yet another reason I am below the new min. Over the past couple years more and more employees have left due to salary. The company in a effort to stay competitive has decided to change their view. They will require more from employees in terms of what our portion of insurance will be, but they are also updating the pay scales to be more inline with the market. My minimum for my position read if I quit or got fired what they would bring my replacement in at with the new grade will be about 13K higher then what I currently make. Probably a little less because I will be getting my review and annual raise soon. I worry because most people are a lot closer to the min of their new ranges. Giving someone a extra 2 or 3K to bring them to the min isnt that big of a deal, but in my case 13K is a bigger jump.Should they bring me up to the min starting salary for my position? I am not new or inexperienced. I have gotten great reviews every year I have been here. They might but I want some advise to be prepared in case they dont. Any advise or even opinion on the situation will be greatly appreciated. That you so much.  <response>: yes they should. and you should demand it.
