Why were you doing these tasks? Did they never hire to fill a vacancy and your stepping in meant they didn't have to?

This sounds more likely something you should discuss face to face.

"I'm doing two jobs and only being paid for one. Up my pay or fill the vacancy."

Also, are you just working more hours now or is your old job suffering? - Strongbad Feb 16, 11:08 15
- technically this is a part time job for me. I was hired as a projectionist, converted to a manager with no comp., and then started doing the extra - sycor Feb 16, 11:11 14
  - Talk to your boss: "I'm doing the work, saving you from having to hire another staffer. I deserve a pay increase" - TWuG Feb 16, 11:21 3
    - my last raise more than a year ago (before getting made manager) was 5 cents/hr. And when the fact that it was a mistake and should have been more - sycor Feb 16, 11:22 2

        This. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 11:29
  - I don't know what to tell you then - Strongbad Feb 16, 11:12 9
    - worded strongly? okay. I thought it was relaxed. hehe. I guess it's the anger/stress coming through. -- nm - sycor Feb 16, 11:15 8
      - not so much how it's worded as the fact that it's worded at all. - znufrii Feb 16, 11:17 5
        
        true. but I want to make sure the point gets across. I will try talking to them first though. -- nm - sycor Feb 16, 11:17 4
        
        you need to give him a chance to respond to your concerns. - znufrii Feb 16, 11:20 1
        
        I don't think he would fire me. he still needs me too much and he is too anti-confrontational. but he could be ordered too though. -- nm - sycor Feb 16, 11:21
        
        IMO, you're running the risk of losing your job if you submit that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 11:19 1
        
        point taken. That's part of the reason I asked for input. :) -- nm - sycor Feb 16, 11:20
      - "Effective immediately" is very strong. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 16, 11:16 1
        
        good point -- nm - sycor Feb 16, 11:17
