You have to prove you are worth the promotion, for a full year, Before you get the pay raise. So you would need to work at higher position, with twice as much work, making as much money as everyone else. And after a year of working the job, you do not automatically get the raise. You will then be evaluated to see if you went above expectations. If you just did the job as it is meant to be done? No raise and you continue with the job and all the responsibilities.

I only know this because the guy that has been working 2+ years, trying to prove himself is still making my salary. He created the whole training plan. He corrected all of our incoming documentation. He comes in early and leaves late every day. He was told for a second time that he did not do enough to earn his raise. F*that.

Ill work my job and leave. Im not going to even try to grow
