Pay increase definition

Question
How large of a pay increase should an employee receive? 
Answer
There is no absolute answer to this question. Compensation should be determined by what is fair, based on the performance of the employee, and competitive, based on market forces and the need for the company to retain talented and productive employees.

Pay increases must also be affordable to the company.
