Do I’ve any standing to ask for a elevate on this context? In that case, how on earth do I method it?
Context: my office does strict wage grades. If you’re grade 3-2 you earn the very same quantity as everybody else on grade 3-2. There are 5 ranges inside grades, you progress up a stage primarily based on efficiency, and when you hit e.g. 3-5 you’ll be able to’t get any extra benefit raises with out a new job description and reclassification at the next grade, the place you begin at e.g. 4-1 once more. Value of residing raises are performed individually at a distinct time of 12 months.
I hit the highest of my grade in 2022, and since my job didn’t in any respect match my job description I requested that it’s reviewed, which was accepted. Early 2023 I used to be solely liable for migrating all our knowledge to a brand new IT system (till I began having a nervous breakdown and so they obtained somebody from the outsourced system-building firm to assist me – he sort of made a hash of his bits so I later needed to repair a bunch of them). As a particular consideration I used to be paid time beyond regulation (at my regular pay charge) and are available efficiency overview time (October) I obtained a pleasant e mail from HR saying “you’ll be able to’t get a payrise, however we admire you”.
I used to be additionally advised shortly after my efficiency overview that my new job description would bump me into the brand new grade and was meant to be prepared in time for stated overview, however for varied causes had been delayed, nevertheless it needs to be performed by December. Then by mid-January. Then Could. Then July. Then undoubtedly August. Then completely by my subsequent efficiency overview (October). The place I obtained the great e mail once more. I nonetheless don’t have the brand new job description, however I obtained the brand new wage grade in November – an annual improve of £720 earlier than tax and many others.
I’m aggravated. From the place I’m sat it seems like I missed out on at the very least one benefit payrise, and to be trustworthy I’m nonetheless miffed that they let me have a nervous breakdown saving the corporate £100,000 (greater than double my annual wage) and didn’t even provide a bonus, which the worker handbook says “will usually solely be paid in distinctive circumstances”.
I can’t give up as a result of I’m about to go on maternity go away, and daily it’s an ideal place to work. I simply really feel like I’ve been financially deprived for my supervisor and the pinnacle of HR having crises of their private lives (plenty of the delay was them every having stress leaves).
