I have a question regarding my job?

I started with the company that I work for 2 1/2 years ago. When I got the position it was a newly created position. now the position has definitley more responsibility and duties than before. How do I present information to my boss regarding that the position be moved up a few pay scales because of the changes in duties? Do I start with my boss? or Do I go to HR first? what is the proper way to present this information and who do I contact first?

Put together a thorough file on it first and present it to your manager. Be sure to outline the additional responsibilities that you have now versus when you started. Ask your manager how the two of you together best proceed with this. HR or another party may very well be brought into the process to benchmark the position at some point, but don't contact them directly unless you strike out with your superiors. If and when you do contact HR, be prepared to explain in detail what each of your responsibilities entails. They won't be as familiar with them as your boss is. Good luck with it!

Go to your boss/immediate supervisor first.

you need to use the chain of command , so you have too start with your boss and if nothing goes from that, you step up too the next one.

Here is an awesome site which answers any question you might have about getting a raise.

Always come with facts. Find out what other people are making that are doing the same duties and present that to your boss. H.R. will not be able to help you at all with situation.

Start with your boss first. If you have an annual review session this would be an ideal time to do it. Go in prepared with a comparison of what was part of the job when you were hired and all the additional duties and responsibility that has been added. Check to see what other jobs like yours are paying so that you know what you should be recommending for pay.

Before you talk to anyone, I would make a professional document showing all your accomplishments, and increasing duties/resp's. over the years. (Kind of like a mini-resume).

Start any meeting by saying how much you value working at the company, and that you have learned a lot. Then state that you want to explore the possibility of better compensation, given the expansion of your job and your increased experience!

Good Luck.

go tot your boss first have a little meeting talk to him professionally you no tell him there's more challenges in the job and it requires more attention and time and you need a raise in pay exaggerate on more work and more time consuming or then let him hire you an assistant or something

You got the right idea.You don't "deserve" or " ask" for a raise, you negotiate one.
Get a legal pad, and make two columns. One is, "Then" and the other is "Now."
In these columns,. briefly summarize your duties, then and now., Are there duties "Now" that didn't exist "then?" Great!
I could give you examples, but I'd be writing all day.
Then, write it up, use word or Excel,
and you might even want to include how much time a week you spend on each one.
Above all, you NEVER go over your boss's head. You'll see a raise, but that would be you boss's blood pressure.. But if you present your case in a neat and professional manner, it gives him ammo to take to HR for you, or with you.
Above all, make it professional, and if it takes a few hours, so be it.


A while ago, my company expanded. I asked my boss ": how much more revenue does he think the company would realize?"
He replied, " about 10 %." I replied, then I'll have 10% more responsibility, I should see a 10% raise."
Guess what? I got it! See, it works! Good luck.

just go home,

Contact HR department before your annual review

when you find out email me and let me know too huh?

go to your boss first, ask them what they think, if they dont give you positive answers, check with HR
