Advice on asking for a raise in my situation > Company recently implemented a new accessibility policy. As the sole designer in my dept, I now have to take on the extra time-consuming work of creating/leading accessibility compliance for all output. Complex tagged PDFs, video captions, audio descriptions, etc. None of this work was in my original contract. Any advice on how I can advocate for a raise with the extra workload?

Easy. I’m excited to take ownership of accessibility across our output. It’s important work that strengthens our quality standards and makes our output more consistent and inclusive.

Since this represents a significant expansion of my scope and responsibilities, I’d like to discuss a compensation adjustment that reflects these added responsibilities.

Will this require more hours per day?

Or ask what you can take off your plate now that you have new responsibilities…

Also could you create an agent to help automate any of the PDF processes?
