Default Pay rise or Pay raise?

I always thought it was pay raise unttil yesterday when I was trying to correct a student. A colleague intervened to let me know both were correct.
Damn! This is the second time I get screwed up by these two words. The first time it was whether or not to say:
- Raise your hands or raise up your hands (repetition)
- Rise or rise up (Is rise up a repetition or not?)
SOS!
