Owners will not look at pay unless I am able to show I add value to the business...

Good morning, 

I'm looking for some advice. 

I am currently employed as a HR assistant, and will progress into HR Advisor in the next few months - which the company is happy to do. 

I deal with LTS ( I have got this from 25 to 6 people on LTS in 5 Months ), STS, Advice, Probation Reviews, FWA, Maternity, Guidance notes for managers

the owners will not consider my pay, unless I am able to provide them with evidence that I add value to the business.

we currently use Peninsula who provide us with a lot of HR areas. 

My question here is how can I show some form of evidence that I am of value, and worth being paid more. They do not offer the market rate.

  • You could also provide them with some benchmarking, by looking online at roles similar to both the one you are in now and the one they are 'promoting' you to (a promotion in name if not salary!). It might not change their mind, but it will give them some info to think about in terms of the local market value of your role.

    Also, you are showing as a Student member of CIPD - if you are part-way through your Level 3 or Level 5 qualification, could you agree that you will receive a pay review once you have completed your qualification?

    If all else fails, perhaps you will find in the course of your benchmarking research that there are roles out there that you might like to apply for - after all, we all know that it's very much an employee's market at the moment!
