Where are you working? 3 months seems really early to ask for a raise, especially if that was a probationary period.
Did you accept you for 4th month?did they extend your contract or did they make you permanent?
Smh, these kids have no idea how to negotiate

I could see asking for a $2-3 raise, but just realize that asking for $20 is almost a 50% increase, and you probably should have negotiated harder if that's what you were making in a similarly skilled job before this one. If you're not getting any benefits you can leverage that too. What are more senior guys at the shop making?

What are more senior guys at the shop making?i am getting benefits, just fyi.theres only about 5 of us, and i cant imagine my boss is making any more than 30 or 40 an hour. one of the guys whos been here a year, who i am just as skilled as, is making 20. the other guy is making 22.
Cut the guy some slack, he's asking people who're more experienced in the field, so pointing and going "lol noob" is sort of redundant.OT: I think like some others said, 3 months might be a bit too early to be asking for a raise, regardless of where you're working. You honestly JUST started the job. I'd say wait until like, idk, 6 months minimum. Turkey seems to have more of a grasp on it than I do.
If you want $17-18, ask for $21/HR.

Skill can be tricky because it sounds like it's still technically "unskilled" work (i.e., no degree or trade school required), and if costs get too high he could just hire someone new to replace you (despite the learning curve and your obvious skill). idk though. You really have to feel the culture of the shop to know; if it sounds like asking for a raise is the norm, definitely go for it.

If a raise was discussed during the hiring process, after a probational period, then three months is plenty of time. Most of this should have been ironed out when you were hired though, you want to get it in writing as well.As it stands it doesn't sound like you were given a probation period, unless that's just how it works in Canada.
You shouldn't expect to earn what someone who has been there for a year makes when you've been there three months regardless of skill. There's a pecking order to these things and time spent with the company means a lot.
>Salary Negotiation One more reason to avoid the US like the plague
i live in canada you mong
Where do you live fucking China?
