body: My manager verbally told me I was getting a raise (12/10/10)
  
  
  On payday, Friday afternoon, he asked me to call him again. He advised I would not be getting the 10% pay increase at this time. When asked why, his response was that "it had not gone completely through the approval process". He's been a manager and with the company for over 10 years. 
  
  
  As a follow-up, I sent an email to my manager asking to clarify why I was not receiving the pay increase. 
  
  
  His response this time (and in writing) was that I would not be getting the raise due to my 2018 end of year review and it would not be discussed again until the managers review our 2019 EOY in March. 
  
  
  Note: Early 2019/when bonuses were received- mine was docked due to my 2018 review. Can they legally hold my 2018 review against a raise for 2019 also? It sounds like double jeopardy.
