Hello Everyone,
Its been a while, but we've been busy and truthfully have not had many difficulties other than the usual PITAs and other innkeeping stuff that isnt really crazy. As you all know and the ones that dont we are coming up to a year on this assignment and we've gone beyond the call of duty as you may say-not that it was asked, but its just what we do and the owner is very very thankful and appreciates our hard work. She is very very hands off and lets us do our jobs, comes in every once in a while to pick up mail. She did however make a blunder when we had an innsitter for a week while we were on vaca about a "fine tooth comb" inspection-we promptly replied to the e-mail stating point by point and some was just BS cause we were not here and everything was ship shape when we left, some were legitimate. After the e-mail was sent nothing else was said to us. We did state that it was not right to have an inspection when we were on vacation and not here at the Inn and we would much rather have one when we are here and not gone for a week while someone else is doing the job. We also mentioned what the innsitter did not do...so this was just pretty much not mentioned again because i think that she realized that it was not fair nor corrtect.
Anyway, we would just like some advise on how to bring up a yearly payraise. We have not ever used housekeeping since we've been here, I've done all the gardening (except for lawnmowing) my husband has done most of the small maitenance and much more. I know you all don't know what our salary is, but as Innkeepers we don't make much-we are in the 25-35/year range plus we do get health insurance. We are a little nervous and would like to know about how much we should ask or should we just ask for a bonus at the end of the year?
Thanks in advance.
