Wrongly paid for almost 6 months

E11a

Hi there, 
I'm seeking for advise.

Back in February I have been promoted, I have been given a new role as well as a pay increase. I have been doing the job since January and been with the company for almost 5 years now. My pay has never increased. I have been chasing HR department and talking with my manager a number of times and that got me nowhere. I have a number of emails with my new job description and as of when I will be getting a pay rise.  However not in a single email is mentioning what is the pay rise. Please can someone advise me what else I can do?
I have been made furlough for just over 2 months and I really dont mind not getting paid correctly for that time, but I feel that I'm doing a managers job for a assistant wage. The company has recently made redundancies and while I understand that I should be grateful to have a job in the first place, I'm being extremely underpaid. The next manager up is getting paid £17000 more from my current wage. And my pay rise was only £4000 extra a year, so I'm still the least paid person in the team of 20. 

Looking forward to any advise.

According to your post you are getting a £4k payrise and have received the promotion / payrise.

Are you trying to get another payrise?

I think they were saying their new pay level was £4k up but they'd not received this as yet and are currently owed around £2k in which case, less deductions - please confirm OP?

In which case you need to check your new contract or/and any paperwork confirming this rate was to be paid from XXXX date.

Apologies about the confusion. So I suppose to get a pay rise 6 months ago, as I started doing a managers role. However, I have never received a new contract as well as new pay. I have chased this unsuccessfully since March with my HR department and manager. I work for a very large corporation. Last time I spoke with my manager, she said she will not be able to pay me from Feb (when I received the promotion) as they did not fill in the paperwork correctly but will try their best at least to start paying the increase now. This was 4 weeks ago, and when I checked with her on Friday, she had no update. I feel that this is extremely unfair as I have been working really hard and not get paid for the past 6 months accordingly. I have all the email tread. Just wondering is there anything else I could do at all?

In a word
Leave.
If you are worth the extra money to them they may give you the pay rise.

That is my plan, but I was just wondering if there is any way I can get the money back for the past 6 months before I go. But I suppose not. Thank you for your response!

But that is exactly what the OP intends to do, leave!

Which is it? Why did you accept the promotion before agreeing terms?

I don't understand the question. The agreed pay rise was supposed to be £4000, and we agreed on all the terms in a meeting and exchanged sever emails, but I have never received the contract or the pay rise. However, did the new role. I did not felt that it could go wrong as I was with a company for over 4 years at that point, I trusted that whatever is taking so long will be resolved. I hope this answers your question.

You need to put in writing with an ultimatum in terms of a date when you want the payrise to be rectified and back-dated.
