What is the name of your state? TX
Does anybody know the legality of backfill positions? I ask because I was "promoted" from an entry level job into a "backfill" management level job. because it is considered backfill, I never received a job offer or raise. I am still making the same entry level salary, but have taken on management level responsibility. I've done this job for 1 year now and the backfill role continued to be extended month-by-month... I've done a great job in this role and have received great performance reviews, however it's frustrated that all my counterparts are making significantly more money than me to do the same job.
I am not alone. I would say about half of my department is staffed with "backfills". Many people have been backfilled for 12-24 months and still no job offer or raise. I'm feeling like I'm being taken advantage of and I feel like the company is abusing the use of the backfill position. They are supposed to fill temporary gaps, but when you are doing a job for 1-2 years, I'd say the need is no longer temporary.
I've searched the internet and can't find any helpful resources. Does anyone know if I have any type of rights or recourse?
Many thanks!
