<prompt> Human: I took a new position within the same company in late June. Due to company policy, pay increases only go into effect quarterly. so I had to wait until September 1st for the increase to take effect. Due to my managers, manager being negligent he did not fill out a form to approve my pay increase before Sept 1st. Since he missed Sept 1st and pay increases take place quarterly, I now have to wait until December 1st. They are seeing what they can do about retroactive pay when December 1st comes. what if any options do i have if they try to deny me my retro salary from September 1s to December 1st?Assistant: This is just shady practice. Id be looking for a new companyHuman: very shady practice, but the company is also paying for 100 of my graduate school tuition, which if i leave within a year of reimbursement i have to pay back. so leaving for at least a year isnt an option at the moment.  <response>: Im going to have to agree with others, youre already fucked. They hold the cards and you have nothing.Additionally, Ive never heard of taking a new position and not getting the pay associated with that position immediately. If they only make changes to pay quarterly then i hope you didnt step into the new role and responsibilities until that pay started. Dont work for free. Have some self respect.
