Business title change with no salary change, added responsibilities. [CA]

Hi Everyone,

I work in HR supporting an ERP implementation at a global organization.

Late last year my promotion was approved to take effect on January 1st 2025. I received a business title change on this date, however I was told by my leader that my compensation was to follow in March 2025. After many follow ups for my salary increase letter, March 2025 came and went and I was eventually advised that the increase was effectively denied.

The job responsibilities I was to be promoted for is something I have been doing for over year and the expectations and responsibilities has continued and increased. I was naive and told that going above and beyond will land me a promotion. I was also nominated for an award for my work. I am now also expected to lead a global project that is technically within the scope of my new role, without the compensation to go with it.

I have been very vocal to my leader about my frustration around this. He says that the global project will have me showcase my skills. I don't want to do more work than what I'm supposed to be paid for, however I have now been named as the lead of this project.

I'm looking to understand from other HR professionals for their perspective on my situation and what they would do. I am constantly flipping back and forth between just doing the work and hoping they'll compensate me for it, but they've proven that they won't do that already.

Our organization is also going through a global HR transformation, and the hope from my leader is that this will showcase my skills off to other HR leaders but I don't trust that.

If you could please provide your expertise and guidance, and feel free to ask any clarifying questions.
