Asking for pay rise?

LandyAndy

When you were offered this new role with its far greater responsibility what were you told about the salary prospects? Did you ask what the salary implications would be? When you are established in this new role and, I hope, proved you can do it competently (say three months) you might be in a far stronger position than you are now.

At the moment I'm doing the new role as a favour.

The person I'm covering can not have a holiday unless somebody if trained up to do it. My boss did say it would be good for my development but I never asked about money as I thought I was already on the higher salary.

In April my money was increased by £200 to the benchmark, but I discovered today that the benchmark has been increased and all the newer people taking on the role are all starting on this newly increased benchmark, but I'm still on the old one.

Then you deserve to be on the 'new benchmark' at least.
