New Assignment--Compensation Discussion

Submitted by Chad Johnson
in

My boss just informed me that he wants to begin making transition plans to get me ready to be the successor for an opening on our team where I will have increased responsibility for managing people and budgets.  He wants to begin putting in place a transition plan to have me step into the new role sometime in Q4 14, but the transition plan is not final.  When and how do I bring up the issue of compensation that comes with the new role?

...you've got nothing. Right now you don't have the new role -- you have someone saying he'd like to work on a plan to help get you ready.
The right time to discuss compensation changes for moving into a new role is when you move into the role.
