    I don't see why the increase in staff is relevant then so wouldn't see any need for a pay increase.

    Where I work there would be no pay rise because you are still doing a role at the same level. You could potentially push for a small bonus however that would depend on your performance in the role.

    Ok, it is just the fact I have been covering the role for almost two years.
  • I think you should ask for one detailing that your workload has increased and you manage more people.

    What was the person you were covering earning? If you know?


    Presumably if it was the same grade as you so probably the same salary. With this in mind I wouldn't be asking if I was eligible for a pay cut if the situation was reversed.


    I can understand the frustration but that's the trouble with pay grading as opposed to salaries based on individual merit and job role.
