I'll keep this as brief as possible, but I'm looking for some advice on my situation.
8 Months ago I negotiated my hourly rate from ~17.5 to ~23.5. I was an hourly employee working 40 hours a week, while salaried employees compensation is based on 35 hours a week.
Here's where it gets sticky. New Year roles around, I receive a promotion, and my hourly rate goes up to $26 However, they also move me from hourly to salary, therefor my effective hours on the clock, and subsequent earnings drop 12.5% from what they were when I was working 40 hours a week.
This is kind of a hazy area given that they're not technically reducing my pay. I have a consistent track record of advancement in my company, (4 promotions in 3 years), but now I feel like they're fucking me sideways out of money I'm rightfully owed.
I never "agreed" to the promotion. I was never formally presented with any information regarding the promotion. It was mentioned that if I got a promotion I may be moved to a salary. I wasn't informed that this was concrete, nor was I informed when I actually got the promotion.
Edit; I edited the above passage heavily because some other users mentioned it was very convoluted, so I cut it down to only need to know information.
tl'dr
Pay before promotion; 49k/yr, based on hourly rate x 40 hours x 52 weeks
Pay after promotion; 43k/yr, based on hourly rate x 140 hours a month x 12 months
As /u/hessper pointed out, because I get paid monthly assuming 140 hours a month, which is actually incorrect, I'm actually making less than losing 5 hours a week, which is a different issue entirely. I believe my ~2 raise was to account for this discrepancy, however, that then implies I received a promotion with no raise.
