My job policy is you get a raise after 6 months and it been about 8 months a haven't got one or talk to about getting one can I sue

Policies can be changed. Unless you have a binding employment contract or collective bargaining agreement guaranteeing you a raise after 6 months, your employer doesn't have to give you one. You will not win if you sue.

When you asked your manager about a raise, what did he or she say?

 

[Betty3]

Be polite when you ask. Just mention that your understanding was (you were told) that your job policy was you get a raise after 6 months & you were just wondering if the policy still stands since you didn't get one. (or something on that order)

Good luck - hope you get one.

On what basis would you sue? Unless you have a contract, there is no law which guarentees you a raise.

 

[Betty3]

Not only do you not have a case to sue (would not win), you also "might" not even get a raise. Talk to your mgr. or HR & see what they say. (try your mgr. first) I do hope you get one.
