<prompt> Human: Apologies if this is the wrong place, but I just need some advice on how to handle this. Kinda long, so sorry for that too.I work in retail. When I first applied for my current job, one of the managers told me the position starts at 10hour. When I was interviewed, twice I was told by the store manager that it does indeed start at 10hour. A day before I came in to go through hiring paperwork, the store manager called to let me know that, as Im starting as a Seasonal Representative, they can only start me at 9hour. This was still a good 1.80 more than my last job so I accepted. Store manager assured me that once I became a permanent member of the team, my pay would increase to the promised 10hour.Ive now worked here for over a year and a half, and have been a permanent employee for 14 months. In that time, Ive been temporarily promoted to Lead CSR, with no raise, and have been offered multiple management positions. Due to my own circumstances, I cannot take a higher position, so I have turned them down while reminding management that I still am working under the basic pay rate for someone of my position. Ive also moved out on my own and have many bills to pay. Ive been told many times - and now have it in writing from the District Manager - that I exceed all expectations for someone in my position and am a valued member of the team.I finally had my first Yearly Review - which is apparently the only time corporate will approve raises - and got the highest raise that our district manager has ever seen for my position - 5. I got a 45 raise.They then told me that my superiors were initially wrong and that my positions starts anywhere between 9 and 10 per hour.I absolutely love my job. Its actually changed my career plans completely, its wonderful. I work in Customer Service. Please note I have no intention of leaving.My immediate managers have my back all the way and are fighting with me to get to a proper compensation, and I have a meeting to speak with our Regional Manager about the matter on the 22nd.What can I do? How do I prepare myself for this? Ive been told its not possible to get a raise outside of Yearly Reviews and raises based on merit alone are not allowed, yet theyre still listening to me and trying to help. Theres nothing about this in our stores policies or employee handbook. I plan to continue going up the ladder until Im properly compensated. Any advice?EDIT 1: I just want advice on how to handle the meeting, sorry for any confusion.EDIT 2: I forgot to mention something really important! They said that if I take a different position in the company for three months, I can come back to my current position at the 10 pay rate or more. I do have that in writing. The other position involves wonky commission, however, and I dont feel I could do well in it.  <response>: Please note I have no intention of leaving.And thats why they pay you what they pay you. If you want to get paid more, find a new job. Unfortunately, nobody is owed a raise
