I guess it ain’t enough that you raise the output of your machines 40%.
Work well with the other departments.
Get constant praise from your supervisor.
Work unsupervised most of the time.
Been one of the few called back to work 3 times ,I’m a temp.
So how can I not recieve any raises and some co-workers get them regularly?
What am I doing wrong?
What should I do differently?
How do you get a temp agency to recognize your “worth”?
Ask for one at your next review. Quite a few companies make it a rule not to give any more than cost-of-living increases unless they are asked for.
Just remember that you have the right to ask for a raise at those reviews. You can point out all of the above and say “I feel I deserve an incremental increase.” Especially if the review is favorable.
The OP works for a temp agency so your advice does not apply, Maureen. Typically, temp agencies get paid a set amount per hour that you work and you get a cut. They most likely have a contract with the company at which you temp so they won’t give you a raise unless they get one.
Your best bet, justwannano, would be to try to get a permanent job at the company. Certainly they should see your value and pay you accordingly.

Thanks guys.
A permanent job is probably out for the forseeable future.
They are letting permanent employees go in favor of us temps.
I’ve never had a review.
The 2 other temps are making 60 cents and one dollar more than I. There are 15 of us on this shift.
I just don’t see how thats possible because they started near the time I did.
They are good employees but not that good.
I’m in the same predicament, justwanno. I’ve been with the same company for almost two years, and in the same position for 15 months. I’m going to let my temp supervisor know that I’m doing more than I was when I started this position. I think the temp company may have grounds to ask the company for more money on those grounds alone. But if not, I think a year and a half is long enough to go without a raise. All they can say is no, right?
