[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would start with meeting with your boss to ask about this discrepancy. Is it possible that your boss doesn't know about the difference in salary? I think you just need to be very matter of fact about it - you have the same background, experience, expertise, etc. - and now you are taking on even more responsibility and expect to be compensated accordingly.

Thank you. I am planning to write this email -  grateful for comments

Hi abc
I was somewhat surprised to note that xyz's comp package is higher than mine for 2017. [insert details of the comp difference]. Given my background, experience and increased responsibilities, I presume that this was a inadvertent error and can be resolved fairly easily upon review.

If not please let me know who I should speak to in order to resolve this. [/quote]

I'm not the pp but I think I would broach this subject in person rather than email.  Tone doesn't always come across properly in email.[/quote]

Agree, plus the email is kind of vague. Go in person, say you have become aware that Y makes more than you do, yet you have equal or better qualifications, experience, and performance rating, plus you are his supervisor. So you think you are not being fairly compensated and should be making more than he, even if it's just by a smidgen. (At the very least it should be equal!)

Good luck. I've never done this with salary but I did once with a promotion I believed I was due, and I got it.
