Question, before you use this method...

Are you supposed to know how much your sec. makes?

My co-worker is constantly reminding me when I complain about my salary compared to someone elses that really we're not supposed to know how much people make (although I do the payroll, so I'm not sure where she's coming from on that statement and she knows because the payroll books are kept in her office and she works with me on the job costing report [that has everyone's $$ on it]), and even if you do know how much someone makes, you can't base yourself on it because you don't know all the facts, yadda yadda.

Being that your in a supervisory roll, it's not unusual that you know how much your sec. makes, but that should not be your reasoning behind why YOU need a raise. Put together a list of responisbilites/accomplishments and use this to show them why you need a raise, not simply because you need to make more then your sec.
