Hi - I have a complicated situation that I would love to be able to find a resolution to.
I was hired 2 years ago by a company for a specific job with X salary/benefits, etc., and was told that if everything went well in 3 months I would have a review and a raise, with a review every 6 months after that. In two years I've had 2 reviews, and one very meager salary increase that occurred a year after I started.
In the last 6 months or so, I've been asked to do multiple tasks that are outside of my 'job description' (nothing in writing for this company, no), and quite frankly, I've been avoiding doing the tasks out of frustration with the salary situation. Basically they want to change my job description (with added skill sets) without paying any more money. And if I flat out refuse to do the tasks, can they fire me for not doing tasks that aren't 'in my job description' ? Other departments in the company have had raises, bonuses, and my department gets 'we can't give you a cost of living increase.'
Is there any legal recourse for this? The higher ups keep nothing on paper, so my guess is that there is little I can do. Can I file grievances?
I've been looking for another job for the past year and as soon as I have one I'm walking out of here.
Any help much appreciated
