[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 2.5 years ago I was promoted within my company to my current position and got about a 20% pay raise. About the same time my company underwent a process where they standardized everyone’s title to match their job code/pay grade. As it turns out my post-promotion title (and thus pay grade/job code) was mapped based on my pre-promotion title. At that point, my boss said he would have the title updated, but that never panned out. I didn’t really care at that point because the pay was in line with what I wanted.

The job code/title matters because each job code has a different pay band with a different midpoint amount. So now, here I am at the lower title, almost topped out at my current pay band and have received raises only in line with inflation since I was promoted 2.5 years ago, since the HR compensation system says I am “at market” based on my current title/job code.[/quote]

Do you have any documentation of the original error? If so, take it to HR.  The correct information in the standardization process would not have been based on future performance and therefore your boss cannot hold job performance after the mistake was made over you as a reason not to correct a mistake.  If you do not have documentation you may have no recourse.

You should have cared “at that point.” Major over-sight on your part.  It should have been escalated to HR immediately when the original error was made.[/quote]
