Extra workload and no extra pay

mada82

For the last year I was asked to cover work in 4 other offices we have. It meant my workload increased to the point where I was doing only a small amount of overtime to having to do about 25 hours over time each month.

This workload was added on unofficially and there was never a sit down meeting to discuss it.

How w do I go about getting fair compensation for the extra work load. I had a meeting about it at the start of the year and it didn’t go well.
I was made feel like I was out of order for wanting extra pay for the additional work load.

I travel to these branches once a month and with the drive included I end up working 14 hour days on these trips.

I have reduced the amount of overtime I do this year to about 10 hours a month but some work is not getting covered as a result.

Just looking advice on the best way to negotiate extra pay and if they can keep adding on work like this without reviewing pay.

I am a very efficient and hard worker. I spend the whole work day working very hard while others seem to have time for web browsing and walking around networking.

My contract is for another role I did in the company previous to this one.

Basically can I tell them that I will not do these extra roles anymore without fair compensation? Or is that the wrong approach.

You mean senior management see it that YOU are PRIVILEGED to work under them.

Do you have a contract op?

Can you back this claim up with evidence - like reporting, and documented workload levels, that prove you do much more?

If you can then it sounds like you have a genuine case.

Try not to be overly critical of others when you bring it up - while still pointing to the evidence that you have a greater workload....it sounds like the kind of place where negativity is not welcome

Don't do another minute of unpaid overtime. You are being taken for an absolute mug. They must be delighted with you

I have done. It’s very political. The view of senior management is that if you have a problem then you are the problem.

They only want to hear positivity. It’s an honour to work for them.

There in lies your problem. Have a meeting with your manager. Just tell them you are unable to do unpaid overtime.
