So, I currently work as a ball collector at the local golf range. Because quite a substantial amount of people have left and my boss has had to advertise for positions, I have been left, essentially, as "acting" supervisor on Thursdays. Normally, supervisors get paid a bit extra whenever they supervise a shift, however, you must be legally an adult to [i]officially[/i] hold the position. The only reasons I am performing the duties of a supervisor is because the other two collectors aren't as experienced and, should anything happen, I doubt I'd actually hold the responsibility of a supervisor.
My parents think I should be getting paid as much extra every Thursday as any other supervisor when they supervise. I'm not fussed, and my argument is that since I am not actually eligible for the position, I have no business being paid accordingly, plus the lack of responsibility should anything go wrong removes the largest part of "supervision", anyway.

2 RespuestasEditado por Recon Number 54: 12/21/2013 8:13:17 PMPay rates are a matter to be determined by the payor and the payee. I presume that you are working in an "at will" arrangement and you can leave whenever you choose and they can terminate the relationship whenever they choose. It is completely acceptable and reasonable to approach the payor, point out that your duties and responsibilities have increased (and hopefully, so has the value of you, your time, your efforts, and your experience to your employer). A calm and rational discussion to point out those improvements of what the employer is getting and a discussion of revising compensation to better reflect your increased value, is completely within the norms of such a relationship. If their answer is "no". Then you are still in an "at will" relationship and can decide if your improved and increased skill set have a higher value on the market and take personal steps to find an employer who will see that value and pay for it in a manner you find more acceptable.

2 RespuestasYou wouldn't be able to get paid extra because on paper you're just a collector. You should try and prove that you ca handle being atleast temp. supervisor so when you're an adult, the boss may consider promotion and raise.

Technically speaking they can work you for up to 40 hours a week for 12 weeks in a row before you are automatically put into that position. As for that though, no harm in asking for a pay raise to compensate. Even though 40 cents an hour more is only 16 dollars more on a 40 hour work week. But it's an extra 800 dollars a year. (I'm also assuming that legally you can't work over 20 hours a week because of school and working permits)

1 Respuestayou should be getting paid more but don't ask for it IMO. Bosses hate being asked for raises correct?

If your boss was nice he should give you something extra out of good will.

If you're not being held responsible, then no, you shouldn't.
