This is poignant for me as tomorrow I'll be speaking to my boss about my current title compared to what I actually do, and the accompanying wage. I've clearly laid out what I've done in the last 6 months and how it has benefited the company (justifying the change) and what I have planned in the upcoming 6 months, to show him what he will be getting from me. BKO mentions you should 'setup a plan', but I'd suggest putting that on the employees shoulders. If they are asking for the title and salary, let them know you're not against giving it to them, but have them explain what they have done in the last X months to feel they deserve it, and/or what they plan to do. From there, you can discuss what your expectations would be of somebody in that position with that title. You can then help them fill the gap. But I think having the employee do the introspection first might bring to light where the employee sees their value.
