Anyone had success with a desk audit to get a higher salary? Not sure if this is a thing outside the government.

I don’t work in government so now I’m curious.. what does a desk audit entail?

They literally audit your desk? But then again it's the government wisely spending our tax dollars...

I'm sure there is something similar outside government. You can always just show some comps from the industry and see what happens

Its a formal process outside of the supervisors control when invoked. Its kind of like the Inspector General showing up and you pleading your case that you aren't classified right or do way more work than your role calls for. You can lose grades, and make grades from this process. Most don't do it because they are afraid they will lose grade. I could do it, but I am most likely going to leave at this point. Even if I did get a promotion there is too much following me that I couldn't shake unless I leave the government.

It sounds like a review? We have those in the corporate world! And, yes, they can be a good time to ask for a pay bump.

Its a formal process that is outside of managements control when invoked. If the one doing the desk audit believes you are doing more than originally indented for the role or are not classified they can force your promotion even if against your superiors wishes.

My sister works in state gov. She's been able to get a couple increases through this channel over the years.

I've never come across this before and judging by how many times you've had to explain it, looks like it might not be as much of a thing outside of the govt. If you decide to do it, best of luck OP!
