Wanted to get people's opinions/thoughts on this as I'm in a situation that I haven't been in before. Wasn't sure if I should have put this in the thread about asking for a raise or not, please move it if it should be merged.
I currently work as the operations director of an occupational health clinic. We see anywhere from 120 to about 230 patients a day. It's not a job that requires a very specialized, rare skillset, however in my company, it is a position that does see a good amount of turnover. I've also been fairly successful in my 20 months in the company. The company is a fairly large company with just under 400 clinics across the country. I started at one of our lower volume clinics, about 6 months in, the highest volume location within our market came open and they asked me to run both clinics until they could get a replacement for me at the first location.
My boss is responsible for both the metros in Oklahoma, that being Oklahoma City, where we both live, and Tulsa. Recently a director a clinic in Tulsa resigned and they are hoping to replace her by creating a position for me. She would focus more on OKC and I would be running my clinic in Tulsa while assisting the others there as well.
In my past, I've worked in retail clothing stores where I was used to receiving promotion offers, but usually at a lower level where relocation costs aren't part of the package. I'm not sure how common that is to get? The other consideration I have is that I've purchased a HUD home, less than a year in it. I would assume any help with me selling my home is extremely rare for a company to do.
I've given raises for my some of my employees, some that are performing above expectations, some to get more in line with our market. Raises under 15% only go thru about 7 people to approve (although I really only a couple of people pay attention to it). Raises above 15% have to approval from compensation specialists within our parent company, I think they said a total of 20 people are involved.
Anways, I'd love some information from people who have maybe been in similar situations. How much wiggle room is there in salary for promotions? Should I be looking for roughly 20%? Are relocation packages common with promotions? I'm also concerned about how I have a few months in my home before I can sell, is that something worth discussing in negotiations without sounding money grubby? Any thoughts appreciated.
