I am currently an Admin Assoc to a large group.  When I first started here over a year ago, my job description was very vague and basically has just developed into whatever I can handle.  The more I learn about the company and the opportunities that are here, I've decided on what best suits me (interest) and what is needed in the company.  I must also say that my boss is wonderful and supportive and basically has kept asking me all along what it is I want to do and where I want to grow.  Well now I've decided.  



I am responsible for general admin work, and lately I've been given the responsibility of a lot of budget monitoring for several contracts.  I want to grow this part of my job.  I also want to become the project/proposal coordinator for my group.  These two tasks will basically be a full-time job (I'm basing this on my experience with these tasks).  



My question to you is this - how can I best propose this to my boss and could something like this call for a pay increase.  It would be more responsibility and more stress.

What I would suggest is start by re-working you job description... include everything you do.  Then break down the main tasks you do and how much time of your day you spend on each one (probably going to amount to more than 100% of your day, which is good if you want to show need for a seperate position for parts).  Then work up a job description for the position you want to develop, including the amount of time to do all of it, how this benefits the company, skills required for the job, etc.  Then just ask to talk with him and show him what you've worked up.  Depending on your company, what you develop might end up with a pay increase.  And then again it might not.  Different companies have different policies.  One thing, be sure to stress your interest and ability to do this job so he doesn't approve the position and then go elsewhere to fill it.



Good luck.

Agreed.  Clear documentation on your existing position is essential, then separate documentation on the proposed new position, a correlation to cost savings to the corporation and reduction of errors by funneling contracts to one person should be easy to show, and I'd make very sure that I included a pay raise for the position in the job descirption with validation (increased skill level needed, more hours, etc,).  Good luck! and let us know how it works out!
