I'm very surprised at some of these raises. I honestly thought they'd be a lot higher. I wasn't expecting to see raises of less than 50 cents. I would have thought that, if you got an O or an EX, your raise would be at least $1. Getting an 'Effective', I can see it being below that Mark but not the top two. I received a 19.5% (almost $2) raise on my review and my wage has gone up nearly $3 since I started about 16 months ago. But still, I'm shocked at some of these raises. Definitely thought they woulda been more.
The only reason you are seeing raises greater than $.75 this year is due to the base pay bump that certain TM are getting.
In a typical year an EX review will net you a 4% raise, so you would have to be making $13/hour for that 4% raise to get you $.52. Now you have to think that the majority of people in the company were only making in the $8-10 range previously and that E reviews (3% raise) are most common, you can see that a $.30 raise is common, and a $.50+ raise was rare and limited to those with longevity and high scores.
In the olden days of Target 10+ years ago they didn't give out % based raises, they gave flat amounts. Back in those days you could be making $6.50/hour and an EX raise would get you $.50-$.55, under the new system that raise would have only been $.26.

If you are pay capped and get an O you will still only receive around a 2.5%-3% raise sadly.

That's because we are accounting for the base pay bump that's part of this years raise. Most of your 19.5% is just the bump to the base pay for your position and then your actual merit increase is added on to it. For example, I was making just under $9 and my raise put me at ~$9.80 or over 9%. FUCK YEAH...right? Except that the base pay for my position is now ~$9.50 so around $.50 of my raise is just the bump in base pay and my ACTUAL merit increase for an EX was ~$.35 which is around 4%.

Two full years with EX and one partial with E (Xmas hire) at cashier and I'm at $9.36. This year's % increase including the bump in start rate was 4.2%.
Probably for attendance.

EX again this year. I don't deserve it, but I think my TL knows the amount of crap I've had to deal with this year.

Think of it as 4 to 6 weeks in the past.
That's really how most people are going to grade you.
Sure you could have a good boss who can take in your performance over the course of the entire year but odds are most of them are going to think about how you've been doing the past couple of months at best.
Also keep in mind that most of these score are preordained by how well your store is doing.
There's nothing to fight. It won't change the raise you get.
