<prompt> Human: So, Im a temp for a bank. Well, kind of permanent temp. Meaning, my assignment on the job doesnt have a definitive end date, but its more cost effective to keep me a temp because they dont HAVE to give me anything more than 25 hours a week. They can use me when they need me, then send me home for the day. So, anyway. I was originally part of another department in the tax processing area Data Entry, and making a good wage, then they moved me to a different department - Quality Assurance. It used to be lumped in with the other part of the department that I was working in, but at the new year they lumped it in with the other half of the department, a lower paid department. Mail Extraction.Anyway. When I moved positions I kept my DE pay rate, but when we got raises for new years, my boss said hed like to pay me the DE rate because I am doing a lot more than just checking for errors. Im compiling reports for the State Treasury, following standards for procedure to an absolute T, and Ive even run the Quality department when my team lead is out sick or on vacation.But, it hasnt formulated yet. I keep gently reminding him about it and he says hell get to it. I dont want to shop around because I love the job, the commute, and the people I work with. What can I do? Im an expendable resource, so if I get too pushy, Im afraid Ill lose my job.  <response>: If its not in writing, its not going to happen. Your boss may think it would be nice to get you paid more, but the reality of it is that he may not want to push his superiorsHR about getting a raise for the temp. It may just be more less awkward for him to keep stringing you along hoping youll give up or waiting for himself to get enough leverage to get you a raise.
