Were you guaranteed a raise either through an employment contract, union agreement, company policy or the like? Were you not given a raise due to some form of actionable discrimination? If not, then I'm afraid that you may not be entitled to one. The fact is that salary increases are made at the discretion of an employer. Some employees will get them and some will not. And this is legal. The fact is that for the most part, employers can set the terms and conditons of employment much as they seem fit or deem necessary. This includes who gets a raise in pay and when.
