Promotion Salary Increase
Discussion
I'm a little miffed after just having recieved my contract for a promotion.
They have offered me 1.5k PA more than what i earn at the moment, however the bottom wage for the position i'm moving into is 4.5k PA more than what i earn currently PA.
Now as part of the deal i'm going to receive training but i think 1.5k is a bit of a kick in the teeth.
Am i within my rights to question the low increase? Before i sign anything i want to see what provisions of training they have in place for me at least.
Any help appreciated?

They offered the job externally and interviewed a handful of people for it. When i was offered the position i was told that they couldn't find anyone better than me for the role. I myself went through the same interview/testing process as the external candidates.
I am very happy to have been given the opportunity but i value myself more than what they have offered. Being honest had they have offered me the same wage wise in my current role (Just finished 12 months service) i would of told them it wasn't good enough either.
They may think i'm a push over when it comes to money as i took a wage cut when i started 12 months ago and didn't push for money, this time however it's a little different.
Thanks for the advice guys!

I'm sure my employer wouldn't mind me seeking advice, i haven't mentioned any names and they'll find all this out on Monday morning. I would hope management don't spend their weekends googling emploees, hehehe!
I understand that most value themselves more than they are worth, but like you say if you don't ask you don't get.

Just had a quick chat to my line manager who assured me that once training had been completed my salary would be lifted into the band for the role.
Which i guess is understandable.
So it's time to get my head down, work hard and reap the benefits in the future.
I can't say i'm totally happy as i would have still liked a little more money but hopefully the formal and on the job training will open up avenues otherwise not available for me in the future.
Gives me more of an incentive to make pocket money out of work as well
