Hi - thanks in advance for your advice.
Last year, my team leader left his post and 3 responsibilities of his were passed to me for agreed additional pay. This continued for 10 months until the additional pay stopped. I expressed my concern to senior management, that the responsibilities I had been given were no longer being paid for, so I wished to hand them back.
It was rejected, and stated that I am expected to fulfil the additional responsibilities as part of my current role.
I have in writing that they were given to me as 'additional responsibilities', and that the extra pay reflected that. My job description also does not include the responsibilities I have been asked to do.
My contract of employment has a clause, as most do, that there is a reasonable request of undertaking additional responsibilities that may be required in my role. One of the responsibilities I have been given is corporate financial responsibility, and thus I don't believe is a reasonable request without additional pay as it is a significant addition to my work.
What would be be the opinion of anyone on here reading that? Am I being unreasonable, or do I have a fair point that this is a major addition to my job role, and not just a simple task that I am being given to complete.
Would you say my employer is being unreasonable by taking away the additional pay, but still expecting the tasks to be fulfilled?
Thanks.
