Four years with the same company and I've never received a pay rise. Each year I was told no despite an incremental rise being in my contract.
A year and a half ago, a new person was taken on in my dept. I trained her in and we now work the same hours, same job, equally capable etc etc
I knew she was trying to negotiate a permanent contract and had heard she'd finally gotten it.
It was left casually lying around and I saw it.
Turns out she is on a considerably higher rate of pay than myself and has a Christmas bonus written into her contract which I don't. I believe she has had the same rate of pay all along which means when I was training her in she was being paid more than me.
I am FUMING and on way to call meeting with HR.
Am I being unreasonable in expecting:
My rate of pay to be matched to hers
Minimum 6 months back pay
Christmas bonus added to my contract also
I'm not a union member, but if I thought it would help my case I'd join pronto.
I am so mad. I have bent over backwards for this company over the last four years to find they've been treating me like a donkey.
Any advice appreciated.
Find another job at better pay and resign.
A company that treats you like a donkey doesn't deserve you.
But don't let them know you intend to resign until you have landed the other job.
I requested a meeting with HR today. It's being set for next week. I'm unsure what to say but am intent on starting with the express intention of clearly stating why I deserve my contract re-negotiated depending on the reaction I may go on to refer to the said contract.
It is absolutely normal for people to be paid different wages when working in the same department doing the same job. I know this because I have been a manager in a number of different companies.
