Help! I have been at my job for 2 years. I was hired as an engineering administrative assistant, but I actually run the front desk/lobby. I do technically work for engineering and do their purchase orders. The plant I work for is apart of a global company and our site has over 1,000 employees plus hundreds of contractors. We have a whole department that is locked down due to sensitive technology. All this information adds to my question. HR has decided they no longer want to be in charge of the badge system or keeping track of the contractors. They are passing the duty on to me. I was “consulted” but none of my questions were addressed. They made the final decision to move the system to me while I was on vacation. I am wanting to ask for compensation for this new job duty. I want to ask in writing so I have a paper trail.
How do I go about asking for more money? I’ve never asked for a raise before. I do get a yearly COL raise and this year it was 3% the year before it was 4%.
