I didn't get a raise. I had my annual review a couple of weeks ago and was told for this year, they are putting a freeze on all salaries. Have to admit I was bummed. I have received a raise every year since I started 13 years ago. I do understand why though. Owners of the clinic are still leary about the economy (even though we are VERY busy). We are looking at getting a whole new computer system here within the next couple of months. That is going to be a huge chunk of money. Plus, we have 2 gals that are expecting (May & July) and we will need to pull some temps in which also cost money. A year and half ago, we did did an addition to our building which was also a huge chunk of money out.
At least they are happy with my work and are very appreciative of all that I do...that does make me feel good.
I love where I work so I am definately not going anywhere 
Maybe next year.
First time ever......

If you are able to add something to the clinic's bottom line, cost avoidance or an important change, you would be in a position to ask for a bonus. Some employers have introduced Service Improvement programs and offer a bonus based on a percentage of savings.
