I got promoted in January, but was told a raise couldn’t happen yet. I’ve asked 2x since, because, you know, I earned it and deserve it, and have been told “not now" both times. I’m so discouraged 😔

Look for something else. You can most likely get that raise by jumping ship.

7 full months is too long. You’re being played. They’re not going to back date that much time

Get in writing when you’ll be getting it and confirmation of pay being back dated to the the day you got the promotion. They are charging you out as an Snr AM... they can afford to pay you!

I really like it here, so I’m going to try to get it in writing when it’s happening + back pay, and if that doesn’t happen I’m getting out. Promotions are nice and all, but it’s the $$$ that shows they want me

Promotion without pay seriously is a big slap in the face. Doesn’t seem like they respect you

I don’t know your situation, but often delays in salaries and directly related to the agency’s financial health. If the place is slow (ie no new accounts, slowing existing accounts, etc.), the first thing agencies do is look at expenses. Salary increases are often first in line. All this is to say that don’t automatically assume it’s the fault of your direct managers dragging feet; sometimes there are larger forces at work beyond your individual sitch. I’d ask boss lady if the delay is agencywide or exclusive to you. A good manager will give it to you straight.

It’s not a promotion if it’s not accompanied by a change in compensation. Then all they did was give you 6 letters (s e n i o r). Leave.

Hang in there. If you generally like the environment, your colleagues and work, try to sort things out. Get things in writing, be gently persistent, but also recognize the current climate. It’s not ideal. The people making these decisions have a lot to deal with.

Completely lopsided deal. They are billing you at a higher rate. They’re making more money from your promotion. You should be too.

like

1) It is often reallllly difficult for your manager to get approval for a raise when it's "off-cycle" depending on who's on top, like a big conglomerate parent company and depending on the timeline, is sometimes worth waiting.

2) Being recently promoted, #1 is invalid and you deserve to be paid more if they're being paid more for your time. In that case, you should get a bump with your promotion and still get an "on-cycle" raise at review time.

3) Find out the process for raises and why it's impeding "now," and when "now" might be. Then decide with all the information whether you'll be treated fairly here or not (probably not) so you're confident in your decision.

Back pay assumes OP was promised and entitled to a raise immediately upon his/her promotion. OP, we’re you promised that and they are just late on their promise? Do all promotions of your sort always come with a raise at your agency? They don’t always at mine, given other surrounding financial circumstances (as other posters have pointed out) - though of course it would always be awesome to get more dollaz $. And there’s nothing wrong with making a case for what you’re worth

Being promised something that doesn’t come is different than just wanting/hoping - and even feeling deserving - of something that hasn’t come YET. I needed that reminder a few times before. Best of luck

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me here.
I have made my tax payment in July 2022 but yesterday (15 Nov 2022) I receive an email that tax payment is due for assessment year 2022-23

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.
