    Default If You Are Assigned Duties From a Vacant Position, Should You Receive Additional Pay

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: MA

    I have been performing about 2/3 the job functions of a vacant position. Do I have a legal argument to receive compensation for performing these additional job tasks?

    Thanks in advance!

    None at all. I've explained why on the other forum where you posted this.

    Absent a collective bargaining agreement, some form of civil service protection that applies to your situation, or an employer that has self-imposed some form of parity requirement you can potentially pursue through H.R., the only requirement on your employer is that you be paid at least minimum wage.

    Used to happen all the time at my old employer. We had oddly appropriate Dilbert cartoon

    We're giving you a lateral promotion where you do all the work of someone else in addition to your own.

    Is there money in it?

    Yes, we're saving a ton of it.
