Equity Lifestyle Properties has experienced occupancy averages of around 95 and 4.5 rental rate growth in the past five years. The company’s policy guidelines are strictly adhered to, and violations may result in termination or job abandonment. Employees who are terminated for cause or have been laid off due to business needs are not eligible for rehire unless there are valid reasons and senior management approval.
When rehiring an employee, employers must consider compliance and benefits issues. Form I-9 is required for all employers to complete. Key employee benefits and executive compensation considerations should be considered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rehire criteria should state that the employer only considers rehiring former employees who voluntarily left employment or were laid off due to business needs. Supervisors are responsible for determining eligibility for rehire each time a staff member terminates employment.
An employee rehire policy template is available to be tailored to a company’s needs and serves as a starting point for setting up employment policies. Supervisors are responsible for determining whether a staff member is eligible for rehire. Good judgment based on understanding laws, regulations, and canons of ethics is the best safeguard against potential rehire issues.

📹 How Can Lifestyle Investing Help You Buy Back Your Time?
In this episode of the Path to Freedom podcast, I interview Justin Donald, author of “The Lifestyle Investor,” about his concept of …
I had worked at this restaurant for 4 years and started at $10.50 and left making 12.50. Before I left I asked my manager if I could speak with him and we sat down and I asked for a raise. He said he would let me know. His daughter soon started working and she had no experience working in a restaurant, which is no problem. Little did I know he started her at 12.50 and months later he had yet to bring up a raise. I left and now I have a job that started me off at $18 and now I make $20. Point is, asking for a raise might not be enough if you work in a place that already does not value your work, look for a job that see’s what you bring to the table.
My friend worked as foreman at Robert Redford’s ranch in Utah. He had a lot of responsibility, and asked for a raise several times and was refused. So he found another better paying job. He told Redford he was quitting. Redford said, “Ok, what’ll it take to make you stay?” My friend replied, “Too late. ” Redford discovered that the foreman was the only one who knew ins and outs of the irrigation/sprinkler system. Should have valued the employee when he had a chance.
Went to my boss and told him what I’ve done for our site, what I’m currently doing for the site, and what I plan to do for the site. All those things are beyond the basic job responsibilities that I voluntarily took on. Then I explained what the typical employee does (and doesnt do) at our site. Then I told him that I know typical employees that make more than me, and I know guys that put in extra work like me. Then I said those guys that put in extra work received a raise, and to be fair my work exceeds theirs. So I told him what I was worth and I should see that reflected two pay periods from now (typical sequence for a raise) or else current pay would represent a typical employee’s work. The raise didn’t happen. So, I dropped all my projects without notice and when due dates for them to begin being implemented came, I told him they were not on the job description of a typical employee. I’m still employed but currently looking for another job., My boss’ boss is pissed at him because we cannot proceed with plans since they are behind. And I just love to see it because all my references are external to the company lmao
I’m a female and earlier this year for the first time I asked my boss for double a bonus, I named the amount I wanted. I came to his office very humble and wrote down everything that I did to contribute that previous year that went above and beyond my job description. I did this because I was surprised at the bonus I had received and how it was the same as the first year I started working (I started a little past halfway of their fiscal year, so I didn’t expect much). But when I made the same amount the following year I was surprised. Now after speaking with him he honestly tried to blow me off… but then a few days later he brought it up again and I stood my ground and challenged his point of view. Just got my bonus at the beginning of this week… and I got what I asked for (with my 3% standard increase)! I honestly was scared I wasn’t going to get anything after our convos. My advice is tell the boss what you bring to the company and how you exceeded that, be humble, be a hard worker, and be brave enough to stand your ground. But you also have to not be a slacker… otherwise you shouldn’t ask. Also go in expecting a challenge from your boss like Barbara said, they aren’t just going to go “sure” immediately, it will take time. Just be patient and consistent in your work ethic to show them your character and value. If at the end of the year, they still don’t do anything you might consider changing jobs.
Are you someone who reads as much as possible about potential investments and asks questions about them? If so, maybe you don’t need investment advice. However, if you are busy with work, children, or other responsibilities, or if you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough to invest on your own, seek professional investment advice. Investment professionals offer a variety of services at varying prices. You can get investment advice from most financial institutions that sell investments, including brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds and insurance companies. You can also hire a broker, investment advisor, accountant, financial planner or other professional to help you make investment decisions<>
Timing is everything: bosses will find your request annoying if you’ve not been performing at a high level or if you’ve been late to work or out a lot lately. Choose a time after you’ve had a big win, find ways to show your stuff, then if boss doesn’t mention/thank you for that big project, you ask them (with a proud smile) what they thought of it, and there’s your opening line. If the feedback isn’t as positive as you hoped, it’s not the right time. Asking now will only backfire, as it may change their view of you to one of “they’re not even doing the job well, and now they want more money?! Screw that.”
In 7 years of Nursing I went from getting paid 20 dollars an hour to 47 an hour. I leave companies who undervalue my work, and I know my worth I work 60+ hours a week and all my job is always completed with no one to look after me. I became the charge nurse in one year… my wife has never asked for a raise in her life she is also a nurse… if you are worth it they will pay it. Ask!
Some of her advice only put the employee at the risky position. When an employee has an offer from somewhere else with significant pay raise, she wants them to say “look… I have this offer that could potentially change my living condition, but I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT, just so that i can show you I’m so loyal to you”. In reality, this is an extremely risky move because the current employer might just not have the headcount planning or the budget to give you any raises at all
If I said this to my boss, I think they would fire me. Instead of making an appointment for asking for a raise, can Barbara be more realistic in today’s day and age and explain how to make a case for NOT GETTING FIRED. That’s even better than a raise! Threatening your boss with a higher salary from another company is the fastest way to get the boot or be labeled as not loyal.
Folks you’re your own best advocate. Don’t be afraid to ask for a raise, take that call with a recruiter or leave a job which you’re unhappy with. I’ve spent more of my time unemployed in 2019 and 2020 than I did with a job. (For the most part) there are worse things in the world. Know your worth and don’t be afraid to chase what will make you happiest whether it be more money or a new job. Good luck to you all and god bless!
One of the biggest things you need to work out is the starting pay. Owners, bosses, etc play off of this number BIG TIME! For example, you start as an entry level employee and the company offers you less than average because you have a little less experience then they would like (this is a typical tactic btw). On average (insert job here) pays $20 per hour, but they offer you $15 due to the experience. You agree in hopes they will see your true potential and get you back up to average or above average asap. You go in, do the job and do it better than anyone the company has seen before, so you expect to get a raise. They will offer you a huge first pay raise if you can prove yourself. Lets say they give you a 25% raise, which is unheard of. So now you are sitting at $18.75 per hour and still LESS than average. What this does is create a “you owe me” situation. Because they gave you a 25% raise, they expect you be a perfect employee and do your job even better and they will have no problems telling you this. Then the next year you will be lucky to get a raise at all because of this, and the next year you might get a few percent if you are lucky. Is this starting to make sense? They just played you. Do not fall for this tactic. Whatever number you start at, will be used against you the entire time of employment.
Totally agree! Once had my bosses put for a guy for a 10k pay rise, while a girl who had hit target had to wait. Their argument? He was ‘more commercial’. Their only evidence – He asked for more money in his reviews. Want to see more women asking for what they deserve and going after what they want, and bossed looking at the evidence and promoting & rewarding their most valuable team members BASED ON FACTS!
I went through 4 ceo’s, 4 supervisors in 5 years and loved my job. I was promised a raise by my first boss, that person left and the new super said she would give me a raise. This was the same raise I had been promised before. Didn’t get jack but I stayed because I loved my job. One day I got an offer elsewhere and I took it. I heard people were wondering what had happened to me since I left overnight . I guess so much stuff was happening there that some thought I may have been fired unfairly. It was just good timing since I also got a pretty crappy new boss anyway. I was tired so it was the best thing I ever did. I still love what I do but have grown internally immensely. Life is too short to deal with bs.
I worked for a detailer and asked for a raise over 2 years. I thought I deserved it based on clients asking specifically for me to clean and detail their vehicle. I was denied 3 or 4 times in those 2 years. I started telling clients I was leaving at the end of the month (last month there), started my own competing detailing company that’s mobile and those clients stuck with me. Now I’m making pretty good money and all the money is in my pocket. It’s scary starting a business, but if you think you deserve a raise in the service industry and you’re good that people go to the company for YOUR work, it’s time to leave. The only thing I regretted was not leaving sooner.
She’s awesome! I love her wit, she’s so funny but also provided great insight. I’m a fan of the two examples she gave on how to ask for a raise without coming off as demanding. While also using professional language and key terms. I’m going down the Barbara rabbit hole. I just saw the article about her ex partner leaving her, but how it propelled her to greatness. Those who struggle know what it’s like to want more and will do what they can to achieve it by their own means.
I just reviewed an offer letter from a company that was 5 more bucks an hr. I sat and let my boss know that I revieved this and let him know I wasn’t actively looking and can’t help that recruiters reach out to me. Let him know i am happy here but can’t ignore an offer like that. He counteroffed 4 bucks! I’m staying at place I love and got my raise!
👍👍I spoke to my boss twice in these recent few months. I informed them I would like to know my prospects, for next year, in the company and that given year end, if I’m expecting to do the same function next year, I will leave. I told them I am looking at opportunities at other companies for career development and that I gave myself year end to assess my current role. I told them I want to take the lead more, be more autonomous, being less micro manage.. Basically be a true manager which I have been promoted to early this year. And because I approached them and talk about it in a relax manner and casually chat about it, the supervisor I spoke to was receptive to what I have to say. Before, speaking to your supervisors, I think best gauge the type of supervisor is he/she. If your supervisor has a tendency to be defensive, then maybe a chillax approach is better and etc etc.. Hope this helps. I see that my Head Department is gradually putting me on an independent function.. Wish me the best! I’m female btw 😊
A few weeks back I started out my job on August 13th as a dental assistant… A couple weeks ago I got my RDA.. which is my license for registered dental assistant. I’ve been performing more RDA duties now that I am registered that I wasn’t legally allowed to do before… I came in as an entry-level dental assistant … But I don’t care about that I care that now I am helping the process out more the office more and then now I’m helping them out way more because simply I am registered. Is me asking for a raise acceptable or do you guys see it as to soon?
Greetings Mom: Wonderful inputs. I got so inspired I have asked for a raise. Hoping for the best. I have shared a novel and original method and technique for SUN PROTECTION. Also better approach only with Tretinoin brushing aside all the expensive anti-acne treatments. Again this becomes ORIGINAL in terms of COMPLIANCE. Also weight loss. Great fan of Shark Tank. Reminds me of Apollo Creed giving an opportunity to nameless. Wonderful Day
I work in the tourism industry in one of the top 20 countries with the highest tourism income. My position is in the marketing department, and my salary is 1,350 euros. However, 350 euros go towards travel expenses, which barely covers the cost even when I carpool with two other coworkers. This effectively reduces my pay to 1,000 euros. I set this salary myself because I was afraid I wouldn’t get the job. During the interview, they asked for my salary expectations, and I knew they would consider it during the hiring process. People often ask for outrageous numbers and throw in additional demands like “working from home” or “working a 4-day week.” people like that, no matter if they are the best will be overlooked for more humble workers. Due to the rising cost of living in my country, I need a raise to at least 1,500 euros.
I’m going in today to ask for a raise. I doubt that I’m going to get it because it’s a government job with many union positions, but I’m still going to point out: 1. I’m doing the work of 2.4 people. (A caseload of 83 clients when the caseload is supposed to be 35.) 2. Since I’ve come onboard, two other people left (hence the 83-client caseload) and the only new hire quit during training. 3. Of the five people doing this job, one just became a father and isn’t likely to stay long someplace where he can’t afford to support his wife and their new baby, so we’re going to become even more short-staffed very soon. 4. I could take my degree and my experience and go to another agency for a job with less than 10% of the responsibility and step into a minimum of a 25% raise. (And yes, I can prove this. I have a screenshot of the job posting.) That job has perks like taking disabled people on vacation trips to Niagara Falls and Ocean City. 5. The reasons I have for staying — I enjoy the work even when it’s overwhelming, my co-workers are amazing people, and the department head (who doesn’t control salary) is smart and supportive — are not enough to offset that fact. I want that 25% raise or I’m leaving and good luck replacing me.
Naïve, personalist advice. There is no loyalty in corporate settings. The best way to get a massive pay raise is to get an offer elsewhere and “good bye”. If you stay, you may get 5% raise annually. If you get an offer elsewhere you may get a 15 to 20% increase. Hello?…. Don’t try to win the loyalty or respect of any “boss” – because they won’t think twice before firing you to save their ass first. Good luck!
Actually I think it’s a real BAD idea to go to your boss. All you’re doing is showing him your hand (cards analogy) and he may start looking for your replacement. If that doesn’t bother you, go ahead. Her advice on HOW to approach is good, if you decide that’s how you’re going to do it. – All due respect to Barbara, but she’s looking at things from a Boss’ perspective….don’t ever take employee advice from a company owner or boss – they are there for the good of the company, not yours. I think, it’s best to have another job offer at the same amount or more, and then tell him you’ve got a job that pays more and has (insert some conditions that you want changed in your current job; e.g. your own office .. or a company truck…whatever) – If they really value you they will offer you more (not matching – because that’s insulting – it’s them saying they could have paid you that already but didn’t value you enough to offer). And if you like it there, stay…but always be 90% committed to taking the other job offer – A fresh role is always nice, and that way you don’t seem like you need them. Don’t even hint like you’re there to negotiate – just treat it like you’re giving notice.
Lol this is so funny. This concept doesn’t exist 99% of places I worked and the one time I did ask I had been at the company for 5 years. Asked for a 3 dollar raise cause I was young and didn’t know anything at the time. Instead of giving me a raise I was ignored for 8 weeks then they gave everyone there a dollar raise including someone I had a problem with who had just started. Absolutely decimated my moral and learned you mean nothing to most companies.
99% of Managers/Owners/Bosses are hot not mentally healthy to talk to them that way. If a boss is seeing your hard work and ignoring your high performance by not appreciating it in a way.. This is a Shitty boss and I just don’t waste my time even asking them for a raise and I will just get out of the door ASA I get a chance. Always invest your time with people who love you, They will lift you up before you even think about it.I call these people intelligent bosses and I am one of them.
There’s no point in doing that, they know what a deliverd work is worth of, so look around, if they won”t do it, their competitors will. If you feel deceived or intimidated by the steadiness a character like this shows boosted with the jewelry and hairdress. just imagine what is left after you threw a bucket of water on this lady. She tells it at the start, that shirt and clothes stuff. all that is no protein does not count at all. They’re all clowns
Lol she works with a good company that values thier employees. Step one ask for a raise. Step two they don’t then apply at other companies. Go to the other place if they match it Make a decision when they need more help they call you pay you even more. However I absolutely agree if an employer gives you a raise without going though bs will stay thier for ever and go nuts.
I’m doing a dishwasher position and because of unnamed circumstances I was cut off from SSI and I had to move to full-time but from $10.50 to $12 and that’s fine but recently for the past month or two I’ve been working 50 plus hours overtime I want to ask a raise to $14.75 this will be my first time requesting a raise at any job but I think that is a good reason to ask to get the raise I’ve wanted to go full-time and they wanted me to work these crazy 11 12 hour shifts almost every day and I have without a question but for 2 months I think the work that I’m doing is so much more than what my pay is at $12 I’m hoping that I can get the raise but I think that is a good reason, what does other people think
“They(women) do not ask for raises. Not unless they absolutely have too and men ask for raises all the time.” Might this have something to do with the perceived “gender pay gap”? “Ask and ye shall receive.” 🙌 Imagine that. Seriously though, as a boss I’m not going to give company profits away. Not usually good for the long term bottom line. But if an employee comes to me in a professional manner with a legitimate request and their performance record speaks for itself, then yes. I’m going to give them that raise… after a bit of haggling ofcourse. Most bosses today could care less about what’s between your legs or the color is your skin, who you worship or sleep with. It’s always about that bottom line.
When I have a yearly meeting with my superior regarding my salary I always prepare the numbers. How much did it cost to have me working at the company vs how much I earned the company. You pay me $5.500 a month and I earn you $13.000 a month. I deserve a raise. Never had any trouble getting one as long as I prove to board that I know the numbers
I do way more than my current job profile. 3 years perfect attendances out of 5 years of services. I have received 2 awards, volunteer a lot. I have asked for $0.60 miserable cents raise to be equal in salary as a trailer packer. I get the ” I will see what I can do” and I never hear back from my supervisor.
She’s got a mentality that my boss definitely does not have. I’ve had responsibility heaped on me while new hires with less experience make more out the gate than my base rate. I’m scared to ask for a raise because she’s so critical of me constantly (despite continuing to heap more onto my workload). At my wit’s end with this job.
I’m going to ask for a raise and needed pointers. I spoke to my supervisor about looking for a job closer to my house, she stopped me and told me to ask for a raise. She really talked me up. I’m going to be the only assistant her soon, and she thinks I’m deserving of a raise. Which I think so too. I just need to find a way how to approach it. Because if I don’t get one, I will be leaving. Lol
I’ve got a question for anyone who reads this🥺 Just started working at Home Depot and they got me for 11 an hr And it’s my first job and I have no other experience And I just started this week a person came up to me and talked to me for a bit asking if I planned on going to school like college and stuff and I said no because it’s something I don’t wanna do along with I don’t really have a career choice He gave me his business card and said if you are comfortable with the work we do and if you are Interested I can bring you on And he did mention he started his own business where he fixes peoples houses or flooring or something with houses is all I know So my question now is that say I’m comfortable with the work he does etc And I become a potential worker for him What should I tell my manager because I started this week and he is gonna have me check out his work on this upcoming Monday And that’s where I have to decide whether I can work for him or not What should I say to my manager if I feel I can do the work with him?
It just depends from company to company and person to person. Asking a raise because you have secured a higher paying job is similar to ask for counter offer. It can back fire and can back 🔥 badly. Asses what company ad what type of a person you are working for before you present his reason specifically for a raise.
Her mindset when it comes to leveraging an outside offer for more money is completely out of touch. These companies will give you the boot the second that you become inconvenient for them and yet she wants you to remain loyal to them and take less money out of the kindness of your heart? What a boomer way to look at it. I work at a very large corporation and I see older people who are probably making close to 100 grand getting laid off and younger people who are working for probably half of that come in to fill their position on a regular basis. You want people to remain loyal to corporations that do that? No. You grow some balls, stand up for yourself and you say hey, this other place is offering me this much money. Either match it or I’m taking the other job. Obviously word it more professionally than that but don’t delude yourself into thinking that you need to take less money because you need to be loyal to a company that couldn’t give any less of a shit about you or your well-being. Your only value to them is how you can help them make money and don’t ever forget that.
I am a woman and I asked and GOT IT. I gave my manager a list of all of my accomplishments, I had a list of employees who have repeatedly told me how much they value me, etc and I told them that I wanted to be paid commensurate to the worth that the company has repeatedly TOLD me that I have. I told them I wanted to stay, but that I wanted them to match their words with a raise in pay.
on a big company they run on system not just “talk” to the boss for raises,.. they have standards, performance indicator to measure the raises,.. if i think my raise is not good enough then i will talk to my boss,.. that i will looking another opportunity, either inside or outside,.. to make preparation when the time i leaving,..
thank you miss Barbra for your insight on this matter, I help someone get a job at the same company I work for and they make more money thin me, I’m still at the same $ and they make much more, thin me, I am very angry not at the person I help get the job I’m not angry with him, I’m very happy for him, I’m angry with my employer I’ve been there almost 2 years I want a dam raised, and I want to be respected and valued and I want to do something else the job I’m doing is not safe or healthy for me it’s not, healthy and safe for me, and they gone pay him more, thin me, and I been there almost 2 yrs and thin want me to keep doing a job that put my life and health at risk and you got the nerves to think I’m gone keep going along with this, if they don’t do right by me, I’m out of there. I want to work from home remotely and I want a raised and I want an employee discount I’m tired of this. again thank you, and have a blessed day, Amen.
Here is how I do it. Meet with the boss and schedule 2 minutes to talk tell them you want to talk about money and meet with the boss. Tell them X (current pay) amount of pay keeps me here two more weeks, X (amount of money you want to make each week) keeps me until the anniversary date. Ready to answer questions that qualify yourself and also be on the job market to know other options.
Hands down the best advice. I recently got my ass chewed out for bailing on meetings and pushing executive meetings…so the cfo said, listen you do great work but you arent dependable. We cant get a hold of you and you duck my calls and emails. I know you talked about getting paid more but you gotta so me that you want to be here….sooo i started getting to work at 5am, emailing my direct sup daily, and finishing my extra work with enthusiasm and SPEED. In business producing is valued over perfecting. Pumping out 100 ok reports exceeds spending 100hrs on 1 “perfect” one. I will follow up at the end of the year with my boss to see what positive changes Ive made and use ” i love this organization and i would love to increase the value i bring to the table, i can do xyz in the new year and i believe 15% is equitable
I work for a company that is paid through the state Medicaid and I was told in a conversation that they cannot afford to give raises because Medicaid does not give them raises. I also found out I have more education than the individuals that I work with but they are making more money by the hour. What should I do?
What if you work for an organization like in public education where your pay scale is locked in? I know people who get hired on as teachers then get more and more responsibilities dumped on them but they cant ask for a raise because the school district cant give individual teachers raises based on their situations. Is there anything that can be done in that situation?
“men ask for raises far more often than women”. I can’t wait to see how many people get triggered and incessantly claim male patriarchy bullcrap due to simple gender-based facts. I’m not taking a dig at women at all. I WANT women to be more tenacious about this. I’ve encouraged by girlfriends to be bold and ask for the raises they deserve over constantly stressing over the workload that gets dumped on them without fair compensation. It happens to everyone, but smart people know when to put their foot down and ask for more money or find a company that respects their time and resources. While men have a problem with being too assertive, at times, women have a problem with being too unassertive. Sadly, this is made worse by being extremely toxic and passive aggressive social media and the internet (Twitter hashtags). I know that will ruffle some feathers but it’s true. Anyways, to dial back what seems like an attack, I would love for women to stop using social media bandwagons for false “social justice” and instead just have some courage, collect their thoughts, have a plan, and go to their boss with everything she talked about in this article… A plan to come to a better deal for harmony. It’s a 2 way street. I never understood why over stressed, overworked people felt so indebted to their employers? I mean, if you’re not in a middle class job, I get it, but this advice isn’t for people working in minimum wage, lower class jobs (generally).
Im a boss and am sick of people compare women and men. My advice don’t compare gender. I give raises based on: 1. The value of the job 2. Your competency at your job 3. Have you exceeded and taken on more duties 4. How well you work with your team and do they respect you 5. Your attitude These are the main points. Nothing to do with gender for me. I look your role in my company and how you can help me make money. Don’t come to me and expect a raise when you can’t build a case.
