So I have been in my job a bit over a year and am currently the longest standing food and beverage supervisor they have left. The original team when I started a year ago have all left as have a few others..
So as a Food and Beverage Supervisor I am responsible for the entire department which means taking care of restaurant and bar (sometimes functions) simultaneously. I have to ensure staff are working to the correct standards and are just generally doing their job, plus interacting with our guests and dealing with any issues which may arise. Its my decision when the staff go for breaks and when they can leave (if they dont have a finish time) If they are late it is my responsibility to chase them up. After shift I have to cash up all the tills and fix them if they dont balance. This may mean taking money off the staff on shift that day..
I accepted the job as hourly paid and took a slight dip due to it being a better job with more responsibility and I was looking to move to the area.
Recently I was offered a "payrise" Basically I was taken off hourly and put onto salary so whilst my "official" salary has gone up, my take home pay hasnt due to the fact I dont get paid overtime.
I have also taken on "Duty Manager" shifts where I am responsible for the whole hotel. We have an early Duty Manager and a Late one. The early shift is easier as there is usually someone there to handle issues such as a water leak or an electric fault. Lates however are different as you are literally the most senior person in the building quite often. Therefore you have to change a light bulb, fix a water leak, decide if a guest needs to change rooms, make beds, deal with complaints, oversee the rest of the front of house departments. It will ultimately be your decision if the bar needs closing or if you need to ring an ambulance for someone or take charge if the fire alarm goes off. Plus you also have to stay over for the night when you are basically "on call"
This responsibility does not actually come with extra pay which is slightly frustrating. However, the most frustrating thing is that lately because we have no fully fledged supervisors, I am often doing a supervisor job at the same time as a duty manager job. This can be increasingly difficult when you have a busy department but you get called away to deal with a fault elsewhere.
Plus, due to me being the most senior supervisor, I have also had to train the 3 new supervisors (this can be hard if I am Duty Manager at the same time) Unfortunately one of the new supervisors has just left, leaving what should be a team of 6 down to a team of 3 with 2 of the team having less than 4 months of experience in the hotel.
So basically I am debating asking for a payrise, I am currently on £14800, the assistant F&B gets £18000 so I was thinking of asking for £16000. Its a bit of a jump from my current salary but I kind of feel its sensible as it reflects my hard work and willingness to do the job wherever necessary.
Plus at the minute I am doing a long term course in which I have to do coursework which is adding to my workload and I am really feeling the pressure at the minute.
If you were my manager would you listen to the above with respect and be willing to consider a payrise without it looking like I am asking too much or just being greedy?

My basic advice is to approach it as a "help me help you" situation and avoid any feeling of it being an ultimatum. Thank them for their offer but nicely convey that based upon your responsibilities you were thinking something more in the xxx range and would appreciate if they would consider that amount. You might want to ask for a little more than your bottom line in case they try to meet somewhere in the middle.
