Coach
Usually the way to frame this is, “these responsibilities have been added to my list, I will need x time and y resources to do them and here and the new potential timelines for completion of things”. Then you can ask about what their timeline is for hiring a replacement.
At the next evaluation time you can say “I’ve done xyz covering both roles, I want a raise of abc so as to be commensurate with my expanded role”. They will probably tell you to pound sand and then you will suffer until you find a new job. Tale old as time.

I bet they’d find money right quick if you said you had an outside offer. I’d definitely ask about more money at mid years still, but wouldn’t hold my breath. Good luck comrade.
No, but look to set the expectation that the workload increase will force prioritization of items as you will be over your capacity to fulfil in temporarily taking on the additional role.
If you have any after hours responsibilities (ex: action if a product goes down) that you or the departing person has to handle, make sure there is cross training too so it doesn't just all fall on you. The manager should also step in here if they weren't before.
If departing person is more senior you should absolutely go for their job if you're being asked to fill in on interim. Also see if you can get support to delegate some of the less critical stuff from your current role to someone else

This has actually happened to me within the last 3 months and I was denied a raise because " there was no money." 2 months later, I was promoted with only a 1% increase smh. Now looking for a new job.
Just push back everything saying you're learning your coworkers role and look for another job
You should collect info on what things between your two positions are most important. Expect to not do some things deemed lower priority. Write a manual for the job to make hiring easier. Long term pick the parts that offer the most growth and importance for yourself, list out other things for one or more positions to hire out for.
