I found out that my colleagues are getting paid more than I am for the exact same role. We are due for an appraisal soon, should I ask for higher percentage telling them I am underpaid compared to others?

Make your case for a raise based on the value you bring and how much you deserve. Don't base your argument only on how much you are paid relative to your co-workers. The fact they make more than you is more of a support argument than your main argument. You may not know all the reasons behind why they earn what they earn.

Pay is not always based solely on a job description. It’s often based on merit and how valuable you are to your team. It is not uncommon for this to go under the radar. Ask for more but only after you do an audit of your contributions. What was the quality of your work? Did you go above and beyond? Etc. Then present this with specific examples to your manager before you ask for more. Build a compelling case. It’s tricky using the comparison to your colleagues as the only reason for a raise.

I am not authorized to negotiate so they will have to take it up with HR, but I am still just shocked at the reaction. Please tell me if I’m totally out of touch!

Hey guys, I’m a freelance broadcast producer and I’ve spent most of my career working for larger agencies. I’m doing something for a smaller agency and they want the production company to hide costs in their bid and then have production bill the client the inflated amount directly and pay the hidden costs to the agency. The agency is calling it a “consultation fee” but client just thinks production costs more. Is that common and I just haven’t experienced it before? Or is this a big red flag?
