<prompt> Human: I work for a UC as a student employee. Once the previous student lead left end of September 2016, I was promoted to student lead and was told that would come with a raise from 10 to 12.50. Fast forward to March 2017, where I begin looking over my payroll statements and noticed that my pay rate is still listed at 10. I ask my boss about this, who said that my old supervisor should have processed my raise before she left in July 2016. Furthermore, my 1 year raise is capped at at 25 increase. My boss told me at my 1 year performance review that I would receive a raise to 15, since he had assumed I was already making 12.50. Now that it turns out I only make 10, the highest raise I can now receive is 13, because of the percentage cap. I know that I am partially to blame because I did not realize this until so late. Because I was still getting paid through direct deposit, I did not read through my income statements because I wrongfully assumed that my bosses and the system would work. Is there anything that I can do to see that I get compensated for the wage difference from the last 6 months?  <response>: really not sure how you can not notice a missing 25 raise for 6 months...its not your employers fault at all...you need to be on top of everything that has financial impact on your life
