I have been working in a very busy chiropractic office for 6 months and my job title is Director of Patient Relations. You name it I do it. I handle all aspects of an office manager as well as being the doctor's assistant by keeping the practice running smoothly. I am responsible for a million things one of them is handling all of the personal things the doctor doesn't want to that might involve possible confrontation with patients, insurance, and vendors. My employer has never managed employees before and I do not want to seem selfish or ungrateful. I feel that my current responsibilities are extremely more demanding then I was aware of at the time the job offer was made and my salary and benefits are not matched with my responsibilities. For example I had to go as far as to ask to be paid for Labor Day. What would be a fair salary to request during my 6 month review, and what benefits are typical from privately owned businesses. At this time I am salary I work about 45 hours a week. My background is 12 years of sales, client services and high level administrative. The only benefits I currently have are 5 paid vacation days after I work there for a year and the typical holidays (now that I have brought attention to them). I want to be fair. What should I be able to ask for?
