Job: Associate Pastor (United States)

One year I had my annual review which was also the time my boss declared what our increase would be for the following year. When I realized that the amount proposed was considerably below what I had been promised, it seemed appropriate to respectfully challenge my boss's interpretation of an appropriate salary increase for me. Also, I reminded him that it was my understanding that my salary would be increased by a certain amount by this time in my tenure. My boss did some figuring and offered a proposal that was quite satisfactory to me.
