My company usually hands out pay-raises once a year to every regular (as in not supplemental or contracted) employee based off of their evaluations. These pay-raises can be considered promotions if the amount you receive bumps you up into a different level (each different job role has its own range of pay & each department has its own range of job levels.) Since these pay-raises are annual any other promotions are earned by merit & can be received anytime. I was recently given a promotion (with a pay-raise!) in December for an "Outstanding Performance" along with 2 of my co-workers. I didn't ask for it, nor did I even know it was coming. To me it just doesn't make sense to ask for a raise, even if you think you deserve it. But I guess thats just because I work in a company where everyone is pretty much guaranteed an annual pay-raise as long as they get a good score on their evaluation.
