Hi all, not sure if this is the best place for this but looking for advice.
Between the dates of 6th of August and 10th of October (9 weeks) my manager was placed on a secondment at our head office in US. We are based in the UK. While she was away i took place of her position for this period of time.
No bonus or responsibility allowance was previously agreed and I assumed I would be compensated at our annual bonuses.
Unfortunately bonuses have came round and I am not included.
At the level I am at this is normal and is usually only given to Directors and above. However, I was given a bonus last year for great work which was 1 of only 2 employees at my level.
I am not happy about my salary either as there has been no increase in the last two years so this is a discussion I’m going to have with my manager in the next few weeks but in this meeting I also want to talk about receiving a bonus for my increase work load and for the work I done while my manager was away.
I want advice on how to position myself when I make the request. As this wasn’t agreed prior or any discussions after then I am technically not entitled to this.
