Salaries - do Job Titles really matter?

Hi All,

I am currently working as a HR Coordinator at a Global Oil and Gas company in Norfolk. I have been in my role for the last 2.5 years.

In the last 2.5 years I have taken on almost 50% more than what was stipulated within my Job description, one of which being making the HR administrator redundant and myself absorbing the workload.

I am CIPD level 3 qualified and have been looking into my Level 5, my employer has also looked at supporting me through this by funding the course but this is yet to materialise.

During our recent pay review, I received one of the lowest increases in the company and am now on less money than some of our Finance admin team members and also only slightly above our administrators.

I am responsible for the majority of the general HR and also the processing of payroll for 96 employees. I have 1 direct report and also manage reception.

I feel I am due a Job title change but am worried they wont change it as would mean increasing my salary.

How do I approach this with my line manager, the HR Business Partner?

  • So apparently the small amount was what was allocated in the pot to HR and as there is only 3 of us it wasn't much. But I was told I need to take on more responsibility to enable a larger increase. But I already do so much, to a point where if I took on anymore it would look like the HRBP does nothing!
