How Should I Ask To Get A Better Increase?

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.

Was It Discrimination?

Having a degree in HR, I know some golden rules of interviewing and would think that the general public would know too-especially a VP of HR. One being that you don’t inquire about someone’s nationality. I went for an interview with the VP of HR and an HR manager for a well known company. First thing out of the VP’s mouth was directed at the HR manager and was “do you know where this last name is from?” she says no and he says iran. I say nothing. Then he askes me some questions relevant to the job and looks at my resume and asks why I did not put down that I speak farsi. I tell him because I am not iranian, I am assyrian. He then turns to his HR manager and says “oohh, assyrians are a very ancient civilization, remind me to tell you about them later”. Again, I say nothing. Then out of nowhere, he turns to the HR manager and says you know, if we (we as in the United States) ever decided to attack Iran, you know for their nuclear weapons, there won’t be any assyrians left. I don’t know why, but again I said nothing. I know I did fine in the interview because it consisted of 3 vague questions (what I know about the company, why i picked HR, and my background). I got their cards, went home and send out thank you notes. I then realized by his name, that he was armenian. If anyone knows the history between armenians and assyrians, they will know that they do not like each other. Couple days later in the mail, I get a rejection letter. Any suggestions?

Can I Do Anything About A Consistently Late Paycheck?

I recently moved to southern California from the east coast and have been working at this job for about 3 months now. I am paid semi-monthly so I’m scheduled to be paid on the 10th and 25th of each month. My paycheck has always been 2 to 3 days late and actually never cared (I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it). This time however, it’ been over a week and I still have not been paid. I called payroll and the lady was rude and stated that she couldn’t do anything about it and it is utimately my choice if I wanted to continue waiting for the mail or she can cancel the check and reissue it but that would mean a longer wait. I wasn’t too sure about Cali paycheck rules and I wanted my paycheck ASAP so I asked for her to reissue a new paycheck for me…. I didn’t know until after she had processed it that it would mean I won’t get paid until the next pay period. When I asked if there was anything I can do to speedy up this process, I was told “No. There’re nothing you can do it is a process.”
I’m not sure what this process is but I don’t understand why I have to go through a month without a pay. I’ve tried contacting HR/ VP of Operations and I received the same answer. Is there anything I do in this situation?
I’m an at-will employee so I’m not sure if it’s wise to go to the labor board. I REALLY like my job, I’m just very frustrated with the payroll/ HR people. I recently discussed the situation with my co-workers who are being paid via mail as well, and they all said that their paychecks are always late too. During my training phase I was told by the Operations person that it is the organization’s policy to mail out our checks 3 days before pay date to ensure we receive our checks on time but after speaking with payroll, I found out it was the evening before pay day. That really ticked me off.
Is there much I can do in this situation or screw myself over?
