My boss is stingy and never gives me a raise, even though I have been working for him for years. What is the best way to get my boss to give me a raise without actually doing any more work?

It would help to demonstrate your value to the company by taking on additional responsibilities or projects. Make sure your boss is aware of these efforts, as this may show him/her your dedication and willingness to go the extra mile.  You could also speak with human resources about your boss’s practices for compensation and ask for guidance or advice about how to proceed in a professional and concise manner. Lastly, you could also find other ways to be rewarded besides financially, like opportunities for promotion or time off; research suggests that when employees are able get rewards outside of money they feel more satisfied with their jobs.

There are a couple of strategies you can use to tactfully appeal to your boss's desire for financial security. 

First, assess your performance so far and identify specific accomplishments or milestones that you have achieved since your last raise. Create an evidence-based argument supporting why you deserve a raise, such as improved productivity or increased revenues under your watch. Present this argument in writing as a formal request and highlight the potential benefits for both yourself and the organization in having it granted. 

Second, if finances allow it, create a compensation package that you would find financially advantageous if presented by another employer so that your boss is tempted not only with retaining but also adding value to their current investment in you. Finally, create target goals such as exceeding expected quarterly results so that there will be tangible indicators which will demonstrate to management the efficiency brought forth by giving raises or bonuses within reasonably achievable time frames.
