While employed in a labor position, the department manager abruptly quits and I am placed as an interim replacement. I am told by the store manager, let’s see how you do before making it a permanent placement. As the months go by there is always a doubt that the store manager comes up with for delaying a decision. Long story short, I don’t get the promotion.
Question: Should I be compensated for the extra duties assigned for the past six months while in this interim position?
Thanks David, look for this in upcoming weeks. (Am remembering this happening to someone at our old place of employment.)
