I've been at my new retail job for 3 weeks as a part-time sales rep. I like it so far but yesterday my boss approached me and told me to take responsibility for all the store paperwork to ensure audit compliance, which is a management responsibility. AlI the paperwork was a mess but it's almost under control now. I don't mind the work but in order to achieve what he wants there must be major changes in the lax way the store is run. In the meantime, I'll be stepping on the toes of the other employees (including the assistant manager) by instructing them on their jobs and just by having such a major responsibility when they've been there longer. I do have management experience so I can do the work, but shouldn't I request a raise or at least full time hours for taking on management responsibilities, or should I just wait it out and see what happens?

Slow your roll. If you can work out a way of letting the other employees change their ways, keep them somewhat happy, and not get any of them irate at you, This would go along way towards you getting full time hours and a pay raise. It is a step in the right direction that the Supervisor trusts you enough to do this. Exceed expectations and it raises your star that much higher. This is what you can use to get more hours and a pay raise. My advice is to wait it out, see what happens and if necessary help your cause by bringing up what you ahve done to the supervisor and what you would like.

i would get the paperwork situation under control and then ask for the raise after the job is complete and then you can say that because you straightened out the paperwork you deserve a raise-
managers give raises based more on past performance then on what you think you will achieve in the future

You're probably working for minimum wage which means asking for a raise will get you a raise out the door and I'm quite serious. You get nothing but hard work in those type of jobs and absoluely no appreciation or protection.

If you are taking on more responsibility as a full time job function, then you should expect more pay. You need to meet with the boss and explain the steps and whats involved. My guess is he does not know that it is so involved and requires more than filing some stuff in a folder.

You should confront your boss and say this isnt part of your job requirement and that you should get a Title change since your job description has changed. Title changes usually entail a salary change as well. Good luck.
