Up for Salary Review - Questions

by Q.

Looking for some guidance from any executives, administrators, etc.

I'm a new role (since October 05) and part of my condition of employment was a salary review in 6 months. This was because I originally asked for $6 more than what they offered me; we negotiated down to $3 more than what they offered - which was my intention in the first place.

My employer agreed that since my role is new, as in newly created, and huge in scope, that a salary review would be fair. And I agree.

So, my question is, how do I justify for additional pay? I mean, I've got documentation of all I've accomplished since I've been here. But there is alot yet to be done. My job, essentially, is to harness the patient education materials, programs and initiatives for a multi-hospital and clinic system and establish some guidelines, policies and procedures, and continue to direct and manage the patient education process.

One strategy that I've considered is changing my title. Currently I'm a Patient Education Specialist but in the industry, I've seen people in my role called Patient Education Managers, which might actually be more appropriate, since we are managing a process or program. I'm thinking if I can get a title change, the pay scale would naturally increase. But how do I do this? A proposal?

I mean, my Director knows exactly how mounting my job is, so I don't need to convince her of the amount of work (she calls it world hunger), but, I want to appear knowledgeable when I negotiate my salary.

Any suggestions?
